I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking those thoughts...

You've got it all wrong. They clearly haven't been bigoted enough and God is punishing them for having thus far failed to wipe out homosexuality. The same way the fact that Katrina affected just about every part of New Orleans except the heavily gay populated section was to punish everyone else for their acceptance of the evil doers.

The fire is 1/4 mile from Mt. Wilson.

Big cat animal preserve in Acton readies for fire

August 31, 2009 | 9:41 am
Lions, tigers and fire -- oh my!
Flames are roaring across the street from the Shambala Preserve, an exotic animal center in Acton. But the 64 lions, tigers, leopards and other big cats that live here are staying put.
As firefighters beat back flames and helicopters fly overhead, a big male lion is sunning himself, said Chris Gallucci, vice president of operations.
The area around the preserve is under mandatory evacuation order, Gallucci said, but the crew at the preserve has decided to stay and fight the fire, if necessary.

"We have everything to fight fires on this property," Gallucci said. "Our plan is to hold in place. We have done this for 40 years. We are very good at what we do."
The preserve has dozens of steel evacuation crates ready to go in case the 64 big cats need to be moved. It also has equipment to beat back flames: A 22,000-gallon water tank, a lake and a complete fire road around the 80-acre site, Gallucci said.

Yeah my office in Encino smells like smoke. Looking out the windows (from the 16th floor) it is really, really nasty out.

Is this why Las Vegas hasn't been destroyed in a natural disaster? After all it's Sin City. They don't care who does what there.

I hope the cat preserve stays safe, and the observatory.
