We have to rebuild.

There was much rejoicing when Mr. Parcelan said this:
Try to survive.We have to rebuild.
We require additional pylons.
Sorry, couldn't resist
Joking aside, stay safe, and I hope everything turns out ok. Do you have a plan set up in case you need to evacuate, with alternate routes?
If you have to leave, take any gas with you that you can, and if you have any yard tools or mowers that use regular unleaded, siphon that out into a safe container too. Then not only are you prepared if you're unable to make it to a gas station, but anything you empty is less likely to go up in the event that the line does make its way near your house.
Current count right now is between 250000 and 300000 people having been evacuated with well over 100000 acres burned.
Only 1 death and 17 injuries have been reported due directly to the fire and all of those happened yesterday when the whole thing was getting started. Since then evacuations have been going smoothly.
The county's pretty much shut down with all the city schools being closed tomorrow and they just shut down the elementary schools today at noon.
WE DIDN'T LISTEN

Our boss is telling us we have to stay at work. Death of Rats fucked around with this message on 10-22-2007 at 05:28 PM.
Right now they're saying north of miramar road and east of the 15, so if you're in miramar proper you're (as of 20 or so minutes ago on the 8 news site) not in an evac point yet.
He's telling everyone to stay home and don't go to work, but when we try that, they tell us taht the landfill is an emergency service and is vital to staying open. *shakes his head* If it gets any closer, jumping south of miramar road, or west of the 15, I'm just going to walk off. but yea, it sucks over here. They say that the air quality is poor. I ask, their still using the word quality?

It was sad though watching one of the tv news casters home burning on live tv while he reported on it, ( him being Larry Hamil on news 8.).
Then an earthquake knocks down power lines which cause even more fires.
Then the hippies get together and protest the firefighters for interfering with nature reasserting itself.
my g/f found this cool national fire site.
My entire ship is on recall status so we can help people out with random problems and let people volunteer.
Why did Razor decide to evacuate and not burn himself to death?
Kill yourself, Razor.
Kill yourself, Razor.

Razor did not evacuate because, as he said, he doesn't live anywhere near the burn zones anymore.

My home up north was evac'd and the fire is burning less than 2 blocks from the condo up there. My mom got the important papers and the two furballs (Dog and Cat) and is now down south where i've been living for a few months.

Nope, I'm now at the exact edge of the evac area though so time to go into stage 2 of getting shit together. A friend of mine is probably going to be coming down here though since she's in the evac zone. Dr. Gee fucked around with this message on 10-22-2007 at 10:36 PM.
Her car is packed and they can see a fire a ways off to the southeast from their porch.

Just got off the phone with my Mom, She said this morning channel 10 was saying anything south of hwy 78 and in between 5 and 15 was mandatory but now it's changed to voluntary. They live just off 78 in Vista.Her car is packed and they can see a fire a ways off to the southeast from their porch.
Depending where in San Marcos and Vista, it varries.
Also there's some nice pics from Nasa up of the LA fires: NASA
News 8 keeps throwing up one that doesn't show the current evac area under the 56.
It seems San Diego is getting mad props right now for how the city handled the emergency. Not so much in dealing with the fire itself since we litterally don't have the resources to contain the shit, but in getting out timely and ordered evacs to everyone in harms way and the fact that the evac shelters were set up perfectly and have been very well organized.
Personally I think I'm totally out of the way of the fire at this point, but who the fuck knows. One of my friends and her family is staying here since they were evacuated. Ironically I just hauled my two spare beds to the dump on Saturday to prep for some other friends moving in, so they're on sleeping bags on the carpet right now.
I'll post up any interesting news that happens or better damage reports when I hear them.
Also, they have been evacing Del Mar (the multi-million dollar homes) which is right on the coast. The fire is almost to the ocean. As for the Harris fire, the winds have changed direction and it is now starting to blow into the rancho san diego community, which is a heavy populated area. Its also where my parents live the fire is probably within 3 miles of their home.

San Diego is not what you would call 'normal' or 'sane' nature or human wise.

Because you need a whole summer of hot, rainless weather to dry out the brush to the perfect tinder-dry state. Mix in 80+ mph Santa Ana winds which occur this time of year and an ignition source and viola California Flambe.
Just wait until this coming winter. If it actually manages to rain--mudslides galore! And not the good Kaluha type, either.
