This day in history
On this day in 2007, very strong Santa Ana winds from two days earlier had fanned several wildfires across Southern California — one of them being the Poomacha Fire that started as a house fire and ended up scorching 49,410 acres.
Things to do
All this cool and mostly cloudy weather makes for a perfect indoor excursion. Here are a couple things to do that will keep you dry and entertained:
- Cinema Ha-Ha (Spooky Version): Orange County Stand-Up presents a night of laughter with a little spookiness mixed in for good measure. Headlining the night is Saul Trujillo with feature act Hormoz Rashidi and opening comics Diana Hong and Amba Walka.
