Anaheim Hills just caught on fire.  I'm in Anaheim.  Here is a pic of the sun through the smoke, kinda eerie.

I'm about to call my parents and see if everything's ok. They live right on the edge of Yorba Linda and across the river from Anaheim Hills. Don't think the fire will get to them, but all the smoke and shit will probably require staying indoors with the windows closed.


And all you guys who live nearby, we should meet up for a pint, eh? (After this whole fire business has died down of course)

You better call them now . . . the fire moved from Carona TO Yorba Linda THEN to Anaheim . . .

I heard about the fire.. also sucks for Westmont College, heard a couple of their buildings got burned down.

wow. so glad i didn't go to school there.

Can't we just get like every fire department in the nation to come help?

Or have the Chinese use their advanced cloud-seeding technology to bring rain?

Seems a weird time of year for fires

We have the same problem here a year ago in San Diego.  Over 2100 homes burned no more than 3 miles from my place.  Homes all the way to the coast were destroyed.

Here's a map:


Now look at this map of the Satillite map of the moisture content of planet material (red is the driest):


The fire, obviously followed the reddest areas for the most part.  We KNOW WHERE this dead stuff is, yet we do nothing about it.


The problem is all the environmentalists who think ever twig and broken stick is a natural wonder of the world...they won't let us burn during the rainy season to clear out all the dead brush - like a garden you should prune a forest to allow the living plants to grow.

For example, in eastern San Diego county there's a place very famous for its Apple Pies called Julian that's right next to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.  Well there was this beatle that killed ALOT of trees in the forest, yet the environmentalists sued NOT to have the DEAD trees removed.

Two years later the trees catch fire and burn more than half the town down.


Fuck.
