California is burning...

Wobbly Goblin · 10-22-2007, 08:11 AM

Fire everywhere. According to the last report there's 7 fires...lots of homes have been lost. It all started yesterday in Malibu, fanned by high winds. luckily we're in a pretty safe place when it comes to fire, but the mountains to the south of us (Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear, Green Valley, etc...) are burning big time. Firefighters are stretched to the limit and the high winds are making it impossible for aircraft to get into those areas. Not good

As of 3:30 there is 17 fires.

This sucker is amazing! It's based in Victorville (our home town). Running Springs is approximately 20 miles south of us, so the DC-10 flies directly over our home several times a day...awesome site

These things are amazing as well. Castaic Lake is approximately 100 miles north/west of us.

Wobbly, I hope your bunch is doing alright, and this is not very good at all.

Thanks Desto

We're fine. In fact, until today the fires were just something we could see off in the distance, but now the wind has changed direction and it's incredibly smoky around here. That being the case, we're keeping our doors/windows closed until it blows through.

That's good news Wobbly!!
