California is on fire again.

[wolf_Q]

How scary! I hope everyone in the line of fire will be ok and that they'll be able to get it under control soon.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Calm here as well. Strange to watch such horror on the tv that is so close and yet feel/smell/hear/see nothing!

[RICHARD]

No,
I am not really close to the fires. But, I could get into my car and go to all three places with in an hour......It's very frustrating to see the reports on the news.

Gini lives about 14 miles from my house......but here the wind is blowing like mad!





Think of this helicopter flying over your house, Without the water coming out the bottom, of course.

It alot of noise, because it's only about 150 feet above as it come in for a landing. really spectacular and not bad when you think of the service it performs.

I was just watching that beautiful castle burn on the news.

Since I've never been to CA I don't know the geography but they were describing how the wind really gusts through the valleys. How scary. Stay safe everyone!

[sasvermont]

I was watching some cable news at my Mom's moments ago. It is so darn scarey.

Keep us posted.

Let's hope the winds stop.

Every year around Oct and Nov. the dreaded fires begin in that area and than the floods will come.

I heard that PCH is now closed to help the firefighters fight the fire.
The Santa Ana's winds makes it so difficult for them, CHP and Sheriffs. I wonder how the fire was started this time.

I came home and the winds did a job on my poor beautiful Parkway Tree.

I've read about the wild fires out your way Richard, ,,,,, No way can I imaginie a helicopter flying that close over my house ( minus the water)

I've never been to California either , so I had to look this up on the map.


That's some real scarey stuff!!!!!PHEW!!!!!!!!

Stay safe Gini and Richard~

Windier than I thought...my husband's car sits on the driveway. He had it washed yesterday.....today it is covered in dust. Just from the Santa Ana winds or is it ash too?

Wow. I hope all you California people stay safe. The fires & winds
look fierce.

[Chica]

WOW, The winds are very very bad.The news is saying that the MALIBU Fire is not contained, and there may be evacuations!!!!! Everyone in that area should be prepared! The news media is saying to remain alert!!! I am praying that no one gets hurt, the fire fighters and law inforcement and of course the residents and animals.This cituation is very touchy!!!

[RICHARD]

My sis and her hubby, sister and my niece, her husband and two kids are right near the fire burning in Canyon Country.

The helicopters should be coming home to roost in about 10 minutes....I went outside to look at the sunset and there is no sunset......it's all smoke.

The wind picked up and there is a slight hint of smoke.

Holy Crap.


They just announced that there is a forced evac from that area..and there are 4,000 homes in the way.

Just heard that everyone is ok but on the move.

[ramanth]

Many prayers for all of those affected. So horrible.

[Medusa]

No, I am not really close to the fires. But, I could get into my car and go to all three places with in an hour

My son lives in N. Hollywood and he's going home today to all that. He told me how scary it was out there. Prayers going out that you, my son and all others will be safe.....
