However, From Malibu to the 2000 plus acre Henderson Fire in San Diego county and possible others that might be caused by blowing embers in these winds it is not a good time for any of southern California under these conditions. When the winds are blowing 20 to 60 miles per hour or more a fire can outrun you in a few minutes even in a car if the roads are not straight enough away from the fire upwind or down wind of the fires.
So, surviving in high winds a Santa Ana wind condition is iffy at best if you especially are downwind of any of these fires. You either want to be upwind where the fire is blowing embers away from you or anywhere but down wind from one of these fires because downwind it could easily be the end of you if roads are not going the right directions to survive this kind of wind condition with blowing embers traveling as fast as the biggest gusts to other areas.
