There is no rest for the wildfire-weary in Southern California.A fire that exploded to life before dawn threatened thousands of homes today and a presidential landmark. Stephanie Sy begins our coverage.A new day, a new fire outside Los Angeles, this time in Simi Valley, where winds of 70 miles an hour fanned the flames toward the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.Smoke surrounded the site, but the center escaped damage.Whole neighborhoods spent anxious hours watching the fire's march across dry hillsides, as helicopters and tanker planes dumped water and chemicals to slow the fire.Firefighters had sounded the alarm overnight.Worst winds that Los Angeles has seen in the last two to three years.Indeed, the National Weather Service issued rarely used extreme red flag warnings, signaling severe fire danger over wide stretches of the state.In Northern California's wine country, the Kincade Fire continues to burn.Trees across Sonoma County were painted red with fire retardant yesterday.And by this morning, power blackouts remained in effect for hundreds of thousands of PG&E customers in the north.Officials said some of the blackouts could last for days.Some of those forced to evacuate or coping with no electricity say they're becoming habituated to the havoc.I hate to say it. We're experienced. Yeah, hate to say that. You shouldn't be experienced in something like this. Enough is enough.
