Well, it's starting to look a little better, at least in terms of getting the fires contained. My dad's best friend works for SoCal Edison and has been working 12 on/8 off shifts for the past few days. His crew has been able to restore power to a lot of the areas hit by the fire, meaning they have it almost completely contained in those areas. He doesnt' expect to be off his schedule anytime soon either.
The sky out in Riverside county was a lot more clear of smoke today. We even had a little bit of rain in the morning, the weather has been a lot cooler (from 90s to 60s today), and the smoke and ash have died down. Today was the first day I didn't have to use my eyedrops- and we were able to sweep the ash off the patio without having it pile up again in a matter of minutes. The conditions in Riv. County are similar to those in San Bernardino and sort of similar to those in the Lake Arrowhead area (of course, it gets a lot colder in Arrowhead), so it's starting to die down there a tad bit, too.
