at those speeds are new. And new in January, too. There were no Santa Ana winds like the last few days when I lived there

I lived in the San Diego to L.A area from 1965-88. My last house was in Rustic Canyon between Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica. As near as I can tell from the fire maps, that street has not been affected, but the fire may be within 100 yards.

Typically, Santa Ana winds come in the fall, and usually are at most 40 mph.
