Fox has been running fairly decent coverage (by decent, of course, I mean that they are actually covering the fire here in OC)

According to a 1:33PM OC press release, no evacuations in FHR.

Baker, Black Star, Williams, Silverado and Ladd Canyons,

Mandatory evacuations are also in place for the following areas:
Modjeska Canyon - Both sides of Modjeska Grade Rd. and Modjeska Canyon Road
Joplin Boys Ranch

Voluntary evacuations are in place for Lemon Heights, Cowan Heights, and Hamilton Truck Trail.

Also, NM has gotten word that what he had heard about FHR being possibly threatened again was a mistake.

The immanent danger is gone from FHR. Glenn Ranch Road however, is shut down at Portola going inland. That area went from bad to worse in a period of 10 minutes. That is where the Wet Seal and Black and Decker corporate offices are as well as the Oakley Factory (for those who know buildings and not streets).

We were just watching the fire out the office window... huge plume of black black smoke that went up very quickly. You can almost see flames from here (I'm in Aliso Viejo!), so they must be huge.

BTD's getting evac'd from work.

Disneyphile · 10-23-2007, 04:04 PM

Oh ****!

At least it's just from work.

Morrigoon · 10-23-2007, 04:34 PM

Jeez! Watching the feed on Fox, and the dude is standing there covering Modjeska, and you can see flames behind him... and the guy keeps standing there! They weren't that far away from him... I couldn't believe they didn't pack up and get out.

I bet they were further away than it appeared. It's not hard to flatten depth perception with a TV camera and I don't doubt the camera operator purposely set up the shot to make the reporter look as heroic as possible.

Some reporters will do anything for a shot.
