I woke up this morning fully expecting to hear that the town of Avalon had been consumed, but it wasn't. The wind has shifted; low clouds typical of spring have moved in. The Catalina Express live beach cam shot looks pretty good, but on the Casino Cam you can really see the smoke in the air (and the need for lights in some of the buildings).
Susannah Rosenblatt at the LA Times Breaking News Blog reports that there's even a restaurant open: Mr. Ming's Chinese.
Wildlife biologists are concerned about the remaining population of the Santa Catalina Island Fox, 90 percent of which was wiped out in a canine distemper epidemic nearly a decade ago. This would be the time of year when the dwarf fox's kits would just be venturing out into the world. No doubt there'll be some accounting later through the month; I hope it's not too grim.
