I am trying to figure out where Porter Ranch is located. I can locate Thousand Oaks. Is Porter Ranch on the ocean side of 101 or the other side.

Saying a prayer for ya'll.

Here are more photos, taken later in the day about 2:30 PM.




Great shots ,Fleet, but don't get any closer!

Yeah, too close would not be good!
All of those shots (and videos) were taken from my bicycle. And the air was not smokey except for the last time I was out, about 5:45 PM. The smoke never went in my direction, but it got close and times and blotted out the sun a few times.
