Heyyyooo! Julian Reynoso here!
What a crazy week the last 7 days have been, ey? We started off last Monday with an irregular wind event, two wildfires, tons of smoke and sirens all over the place. This weekend brought a spooky Halloween and a Día de los Muertos unlike any other.
To top it off, Election Day 2020 is tomorrow and these are definitely stressful and crazy times for all. Have you voted yet? Do you know what you’re voting for? Where will you watch the results?
Here are some links to help you make some decisions:

We know a lot’s happened in the last week. Need to catch up? el Don reporter Kimmy Garcia breaks down all the news you may have missed— from the fires to the Music Department’s Halloween extravaganza — in a Friday afternoon video update for IGTV. Enjoy!
el Don staff woke up last Monday morning to the fast-moving Silverado Fire threatening the Orange Hills and causing Santiago Canyon College to evacuate. As soon as the RAVE Alerts were sent, our reporters and photographers hurried to the scene to talk to officials and take shots of the smoky skies and burning embers that best demonstrate what this fire (and all of 2020 tbh) was all about. CAL FIRE’s latest update on the Silverado and Blue Ridge fires puts containment of both at 93%.
