We have a little thunderstorm going on over the ocean tonight, and it looks like a fire has broken out on Catalina Island.
Let me know if you see any news reports about it. I can’t find any.
UPDATE 7-23-06 12:53 a.m.: Here is a story about the fires.
They look to be out now.

I was driving up PCH from Laguna Beach to Newport Beach this evening and thought the same thing.

Dear Patterico –
Where is your e-mail address on your blog.
It is very hard to find.

Fortunately, Catalina is provided with an effective external fire-break. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do anything for the residents on the island; but, with enough pumpers, they have an unlimited supply of fire-retardant.
