Thanks for thinking of us! I live in Orange County and the Santiago Canyon fire was closest to me, but that one is pretty much contained, so i'm not too worried. I do know a few people down in San Diego that have been evacuated to the stadium. If anything comes up, i'll be sure to let you all know.

I think this is a sign that God, either him or the evil intergelactic lord Xenu, don't want people living in california.

Edit: I only say this because california is on fire like every other fortnight.

We in Oz are doubly concerned...both for the Cali's caught up in the fires....and that Elvis might not be free to help us in a few weeks/months time as well.....

[Elvis is a Skycrane water-bomber Chopper that we lease each year.  Last time it returned to the US the tanks weren't entirely empty.....grateful Winegrowers had provided some red for the crew]...

Thanks Zoomba, I'm right below the Grass Valley/Slide fires. So far we're safe since the fires are contained up in the mountains. Updated info can be found here, at least for the fires in San Bernardino County.

day is night here. they say all is stable for the time being.. but the smoke is thicker and darker each day...

Hope everyone is o.k. and all your homes and families are safe and happy. Been thru lots of fires and quakes, myself. Here we just have @#!*#@! winter.

May G-d keep all our fellow Americans (and whoever else shares his/her fate with ours).
Our prayers and blessings to/for you all....
  

You all are in my prayers.... and blessings to you all

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as well. Thanks for the link Bebi.

It's My Secret

Great posting Zoomba.  I'm glad to hear you guys are safe.  Hopefully they will get the fires contained.  Do they have any military resources helping?  My husband had to fight the wild fires in Idaho when he was in the Army since they didn't have enough Firefighters to do the job.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine's father did lose his ranch, thankfully his horses had been rescued at the time evacuation was "required".  He now has 10 horses in his back yard... that's a sight I would LOVE to see!!  LOL!

Hopefully the fires will be contained soon, sparing the homes and lives of those that remain. Good luck to you all, stay safe.

I hear Police shot and killed one arsonist.....

I call that a good start.

Anyone who knows bushfires and firestorms would likely agree.....

yep

According to what i Heard on radio the guy was trying to set a university on fire and got spotted .. after a high speed chase and a gun fight incurred..
