Fire in San Diego / SoCal

[VacMan]

Seconded.

Kinda hard to go back to work when you have no bed and no shower to go to. And no frige.

Where's Kellie?

I spoke Ben on the phone yesterday. I know she had been hanging out with him, but I don't know any current status.

Sorry, guess I'm just a bit sensitive when I have a close friend who is trying to figure out how to move forward when you've lost virtually everything and someone posts "wahhhhh pussies, this shit is fun!" That's pretty low class to me.

He's fully insured at full replacement. Insurance doesn't cover all of the personal items like pictures, memorabilia and everything else you leave behind when you get a reverse 911 phone call and it's saying "THIS AREA LEAVE NOW! THIS AREA LEAVE NOW!" when you answer it. He had a lot of irreplaceable items packed but left behind who knows how much.

I understand that much, that's why I said help him recover.

[VacMan]

Well I'm sure his fire insurance will help him recover.

He DOES have fire insurance, right? RIGHT?

wow thats insane, that is almost Hurricane strength winds added with fire. I remember when the everglades were on fire down the street from my house. That was crazy and burned for weeks. But we never had that crazy wind at the same time.

News this AM says a lot of the fires are becoming contained. Thats great news!

[Farbin Kaiber]

Couple of shots from work. The winds the fuel here.







In all, the 70+mph winds knocked 35+ trees down in the property my auto shop is in.

Tell that to my buddy Allan in Poway who called me tonight to tell me he no longer has a house to go home to.

Whee.

pwned!

Good luck to all of you and stay safe. Get all meaningful personal items out of there and evacuate yourself if you need to...use common sense here

Here's a google map overlaid with all of the burn areas and ongoing fire lines, the different fires and the evacuation points. Looking at it gives you a perspective on just how bad it is down there.

Stay Safe guys


I complain about how boring SC is but i need to STFU, We've been really lucky

[Mike325]

I can no believe these pictures. You say it looks like a war zone and you really are not kidding. I can not imagine how you guys feel right now, but you are all on our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and keep going strong.

[Ablice]

Oh my. Sad that this happening to beautiful Cali. (and for anywhere in the world for that matters)

Listen to the authorities guys!!

Ehhhh SoCal isn't really that pretty...most of it is just average.

Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar are kinda nice though, Irvine is a place that needs to be nuked, Pasedena is hot as hell all the time. Costa Mesa is...alright, average. Mission Viejo is like a forgotten town...

No offense, used to live down there...

But yeah, the fires hafta be bad. It's already 35ºC + here (95F) and I wish I could shoot out the sun outta teh skies...

Anyone wanna call up Arnie Pye In the Skies? :)
