Fire!

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

So I just woke up, gave the dog something to munch on, then I sat down and smoked a bowl. I was then looking out the window

The sky looked really peculiar...it was very orange like with strange clouds. I then took my dog out for a walk.

HOLY SHIT GUYS! The harsh smell of smoke entered my nostrils and instantly made me choke! The sky is bright orange while the rest of it is very dark grey, with extreme winds and ash floating all over the place.

Living in dry south california is wicked sometimes! Damned wild fires.. this one looks like a few miles away from our place. :jointsmile:

Man, that's crazy. I think I just saw something on the news saying that a small fire was turned into an infernal because of severe wind gusts. Be safe, bro.

[geonagual]

The wind up here is crazy today...great fuel for fires..gotta love the Santa Anas

I'd dig a moat around my place if I lived in SoCal.

Wow just a little update..
so this morning at 5 am I leave my house to go to work
there's traffic everywhere and people panicking
i finally pick up some speed on the freeway when all of a sudden

my right front tire pops! FUCK! talk about bad timing...
so for the next 30 minutes im trying to change my spare
with cars almost hitting me every 30 secs because people just wanna
get the hell out of here

so my work closed down, therefore day off!
I am now evacuating my house as flames can be seen from the distance

Dunno what's gonna happen, but... I love y'all
and I will miss you, nifty little computar macheene

[CoCoNuT]

I've been glued to the TV ALL day....it is just sooo sad and devastating :( I am sorry for what you are going through...just stay safe!

So I just got back from checking the status of my house...
well there's bad news and good news -

Bad news: my house has burned, not entirely, but quite a bit. We weren't able to go inside yet due to the hazardous environment, but we could see half the house was blakc and there were no leaves on any of our trees.

Good news: insurance will take care of a lot!
Good news#2: I got to talk to the Governator! He was in Rancho Bernardo (my town, a san diego suburb). He is extremely serious and cold blooded, but he talks just like he does on TV and he's pretty cool! :P

So that's it...at least the house is still standing! So many people lost their homes completely.. its so devastated out there. It's like a different planet.

Best wishes to you all in SoCal!

Man, you're blessed to have it standing from what I saw on the news. They took an ariel view and that fire is a behemoth! One evacuee stated that it was armegeddon there! Keep that attitude and you'll make out like a champ! I'm from Ohio and nothing like that happens this way. Many safe and blessed wishes be to you!

friendowl, my gmail status message has been "Keep yo head up" for about 2 years now
thats a funny coincidence.. but you said it man. thanks for reminding me :)
thank you 4osiris and all of you for the support, it is very appreciated in times like these

but keep in mind man, the medias will make anything look 10 times worse
it is very bad out here, but its not like the fire has taken over everything
a lot has been spared, yet a lot has been burned, unfortunately

but all in all, there was only 1 death and very few injuries
most of the people will get help from insurance
the plants and trees will regrow, more beautiful than ever
things will be just fine
