| Re: Southern California burning! Last night on the news they reported that one of the fires at Lake Arrowhead which is to the east of Los Angeles in the mountains had gotten so dangerous (it was crowning in the trees) that the firefighters and police had just pulled back. Reporter said they were urging anyone still in that area to get out and that if you were there and called 911 for help no one was coming in after you. That is about as bad as it gets. This morning they were showing helicopter shots of house after house burning up there.
As bad as it is at Arrowhead it is worse down south. In San Diego numbers vary but at least 1000 homes have been destroyed.
Only good news is that the winds seem to be a bit less today which is better than what was forecast. |
