They are showing the fire right behind someones back yard. The water dropping plane just went over.

Damn! I'm glad y'all appear to be okay thus far. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed and all that.

Reason #1 to have a landline and an answering machine. You can call and see fi it picks up.

That's a good test, *if* your power is still on. They have been shutting off the power to make it safer for the firefighters when there are downed lines.

Watching this live in action, all I can say is that firefighters are ****ing awesome.

What a horrible, horrible day.

A sure sign of the apocalypse!

:p

Yikes, there are about five people from my office who had to leave because the fire is near their homes...

This is so much worse than 2003. :(

Let's just hope none of them meet.

You know - I am at school, but I can leave. I haven't had a chance to read this entire thread. I'm just staying for an extra curricular thing, but am willing to do whatever to help anyone...

Let me know.

My number... most people know it. I'll PM it to Kevy on top of it. Otherwise, PM me. I'll be on my laptop.
