Mandatory evacuations for Topenga Canyon.
LA TV stations live remotes showing the fire is still burning quite activity under the marine layer at 11 PM.

There is enough fire activity to turn the TemascalTrailhead2 camera into Day Mode

You can see some night flying helicopters passing into view occasionally on the camera as well.
I was flying yesterday afternoon when my route took me adjacent to the column. It was a trip to see a very solid marine layer with what looked like a super active fire below. This clearly makes it difficult (if not impossible) for fixed wing. Tops were around 3600’ and bases 1800’. Spotted the column at 6,000’ from San Diego.

The marine layer is starting to thin out. With the upper level low overhead will have to monitor convective development as it was very active to the north yesterday.

Was there in 93 on the Green Meadow fire, it ran hard on a Santa Ana, almost to Peperdine, and then turned around on a “Catalina Eddy” and ran hard back in the direction it is going now. Very steep, I do not think it has burned since 93???

Looks like the most active fire is because it is now in Quarry canyon mid right flank, running up the slope to the east.

I always thought the green meadow/steckle started off the conejo grade and burned west. The Malibu fire a week later I thought burned this footprint towards Pepperdine? My memory fades
