Xeryon Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Good to hear all the cali people are doing ok its tragic, but funny at the same time because it was not unexpected. this is a hazard of living in the area that they do. its like when Floridians complain about their beach house being washed away in a hurricane, or trailer trash in Nebraska blubbering about losing everything when they were the ones that built their place in the middle of a danger area. the irony amuses me. that mess going on in Atlanta, now that will be a real problem as it was something no one suspected would happen.

Im down to kick it. just let me know when youre settled and everything. be safe ok until then ok. where are you at the moment? all HF members are allowed to crash at my place at any time (just ask eh6tunerdaniel). so if youre stuck at qualcomm or somethin, we have extra beds and food and running water here. *edit* Im not trying anything funny, just trying to help out.

TS John Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I saw on the news that things are getting better. Is that true? Is everyone out in SoCal okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 things are getting better in some areas and worse in others. with the wind dying down, its helping alot. but the fire near me on the base just caused everyone on base to be evacuated. which means the fire is less than 5 miles away from me.

Rick B. Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 the fires are still going on. that firemap that i posted earlier is updated regularly at least daily. the majority of it though has cleaned up. air quality sucks still for most of the county, except here by the beach where i live. =) we have that nice cool ocean air that just blows in off the water, its so nice. lol.

Rick B. Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 when was the last time you had a wildfire in florida? there is no open space where you are where the fire can get out of control. here in cali, we have wide open areas of desert with nothing but dry grass and bushes and strong winds to fuel fires. most of the fires are almost completely contained, but there are a couple that are under 50% contained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't waving the BS flag, Jackass. I was stating that it's bullcrap that anyone would have to endure a fire that's lasted more than seven days.
