So Cal Burning
I have a niece and 2 cousins down there. They are doing alright, we just wait to hear from Aud's mom cause she stays in touch.
What the hell can I do from here anyway? If they need a hand, they know how to find me. My doors are always open.
I'm kinda just like that. One call to say I am here, if you need something holler, and then figure no news is good news.
Not shit I can do for him, but I like to know hes OK so I call him nightly, make sure that hes not in any immediate danger, thats all.He was in fuck I forget where, someplace else when it started and gone for a week on business so he wasnt sure what he was returning to when he got off his plane to drive home. He knew about the fires, just nto if his house was affected or nto.
Well, my "kids" have a "call ring" set up. If something is wrong Aud's mom is in touch, she will call all of us and let us know...Maybe if he had something like that, one of you could bug the shit out of him, not 6 or more of you...

That's really sad. They should have got out. How's it going over there, guys?
And plenty of recouping. A Popular TV repoter in SD called Larry Himill lost his home and reported on it. Actually stood five feet from it as it was burning, pointing out what used to be his garage, as the fire raged, his garden hose not engulfed yet, was spewing out water. He really had a good attitude about his dilemma though. He was on the news this morning showing the footage, and smiling and stating how lucky he was to have gotten out with his family and pets. His story is inspirational. I know a lot of people feel the love and outpour of support San Diegans have been offering. It's truly a sight to see, where you have "too much help" instead of "not enough." It's a great feeling.
Here is the latest MAP of the fire perimeter and the active fires.It's pretty much over except for the Palomar Mountain/Poomacha fire. Of course this doesn't mean that the fires are put out. All the canyons that burned and still smoldering and burning but the big active fires have been quelled.We went out yesterday about 5 PM to the grocery store. We had just unpacked everything from the car becasue they had lifted the evac order to the area right next to us. As we drove down the road we ran into a bunch of police and National Guardsmen. They even had their machine guns drawn. As we drove south on 76, every road to the right was blocked with Guardsmen and police. My wife started freaking becasue the Camp Pendleton fire was still quite active. I turns out they were they to prevent any non-residents from getting back into the evac zones. Still it was quite disconcerting. Apparently, there have been incidents of looting going on. With entire neighborhoods evac'ed, it's an open door for crooks. Now the investigations are in full swing. I was monitoring the Calif. Highway Patrol communications site and someone reported seeing a car with an individual attempting to start a fire yesterday in the North County. There have been other reports and some arrests... What vile human beings.
When we had fires near here a couple of years ago the sun in mid-morning was bright scarlet.
An arsonist spotted near the University of San Bernardino was shot to death by police. How anyone could try to start a fire at a time like this is beyond me. Another two were arrested but in seperate incidents.
I read about this; It sounds really scary I hope all those here living in california are alright.By the way, map of all the fires: linky Edit: oops, link outdated, let me find an update...edit2: update
Thank you from us here in So Cal
