As some of you may know half of SoCal is on fire. Laughing

There is so much smoke over-head that the suns being blocked, we were given pre-cautionary evacuation earlier which has been lifted to Mandatory but my family refuses to leave our house. Police are going door to door kicking people out.

The fire is less then 5-8 miles away and it's heading West toward the Pacific. Already over 200,000 acres burned and plenty of houses. 250,000 in my area were forced to evac Santa Ana winds are gusting at 60mph and there is a layer of ash everywhere, FUN!

I'm gonna stick it out. Laughing

Yeah we had a fire about 5 min. away from my house like... 4 months? ago. Was quite insane actually, because a pasture went up, and all the dry grass lit up in like 30 secs across a 5 mile area.... and the flames were like 3 meters high. Quite tight ^^

It was right off the famous Pagemill road, if people know where that is Smile

Dunno, somewhere deep in South California. San Diego looks about right, considering its so deep that you might as well call it Mexican territory. I just can't imagine a fire threatening a major city like San Diego, unless Kamel lives in the suburbs, but still even then......

I live waaaaay up North from there, an hour south of San Francisco, and over here wildfires are almost unheard of. So it was pretty fucking interesting when we got one Very Happy

yay im loved!!!

Most classes around here don't really teach much about the rest of the world either unless it's to do with history. And quite personally I don't care about whats going on in other countries...hell even my own, if it doesn't directly affect or involve me I don't really care. I didn't even know who our president was until like..a year after he got elected. Hell I don't even know who the mayor of my city is.

Ok, the fire is literally right over the hills from our house, we ditched all our cars and put what we can in one and we are making a run for it, cops are forcing everyone out my neighborhood due to the smoke and the fire potentially heading our direction.

The horizon is just orange, they say it's going to spread all the way to the coast.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&ie=UTF8&om=1&msa=0&msid=114250687465160386813.00043d08ac31fe3357571&ll=32.990236,-116.732483&spn=1.105782,1.757813&z=9&source=embed

That's a google map, if you dig around I'm on Black Mountain road west of the 15 freeway and just north of the 56 both of which have been closed, we are less then a mile from the RED zone where the fire is currently raging. The entire area is like those ZOMBIE movies, EVERYWHERE is empty and dead, few cars are cops in groups of 3 Crown Vics escorting people and or making sure no looting is going on.

This shit's pretty scary, and as of right now I'm outta here probably for the next few days. Already heard of a few friends houses going down, and friends buisness'.

Traffic is backed up for a few hours that's what 250,000 people do and all gas stations are PACKED, stores are closed or out of stock and it's just general mayhem where people are still around. Ambulances flying everywhere, tons of police, and stupid sight see'ers watching the flames. Ok well helicoptors repeating evacuation over-head gotta get outta here, sadly can't take the PC. Crying or Very sad

Wish me Luck. Laughing Very Happy

New fire breaks out in San Diego County
Associated Press - October 23, 2007 9:14 AM ET

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Officials say a new fire has broken out in San Diego County.

California Fire spokesman Captain Don Camp says the blaze broke out in a home on the La
Jolla Indian Reservation early this morning. He says the fire seems to have started inside the
home independently of any of the wildfires that are ravaging the region.

Camp says the new fire spread to the surrounding landscape and has now grown to 400
acres. The fire is heading up the east side of Palomar Mountain. No information yet on
whether this blaze has forced any evacuations.

Ok back home Very Happy , Thank God the firefighters prevented it from spreading just a little farther south toward my house, instead it headed west toward the ocean.

350,000+ acres burned, I'll post some pics from all around SD during this shit in a bit.
