California Christmas Calamity The Morning After

Here is another aerial image of the 1200-acre Solimar Fire which began last night as viewed from a Ventura County Sheriff/Fire Helicopter (not sure which one). The Pacific Ocean is visible to the left and the smoke is clearly blowing towards the sea in a classic Santa Ana Wind pattern. This HERE is how the fire looked last night.
