It's a volcano, it's a mushroom cloud, no it's judgment.

15,000' into the sky, bellowing white poofy fire clouds hover. A low creeping burning fog bank spreads out beneath it. Dry doesn't cover it. The air is mummifying.

" Rodents with their fur on fire are being scooped up by firefighters and hurled back into the flames to help stop the spread of the conflageration ".

Fire and Brimstone.

Being descriptive is cool and all ATG but might want to dumb it down for the slower people who had no idea what the fuck you were on about. People such as me.

Sad about the two blokes killed, may they rest in peace.

Maybe if we had some of those Russian fire planes we wouldn't be in this situation.

Good thing they didn't need those Russian water bombers. 15000 rich people's home going up in smoke. Guess Forman is happy.

lol.. I was getting ready to post that S3v3N pretty much destroyed the Russian water bomber argument in the other topic. I guess they think this is a do'over. Keep it here.

You're lucky your going into the cooler climate of Autumn, but I guess that makes a fire hazard worse in terms of leaf litter?

(we don't have Conifers in Australia so are fortunate in that respect).

I went down to Santa Ana on Friday afternoon and when I was driving back home from Santa Ana last night leaving around 6:20pm back to the valley, I saw that gigantic mushroom cloud, that is really bad, I hope they can calm the fire down and hope nobody else has to die for it

Fire is bad and all, but I saw the massive puffy mushroom cloud this afternoon and thought, "Wow, that looks beautiful." Dead serious. It was pretty

Oh, and since Seven is a firefighter, I've got a question: What do you guys think of the people who ignore evacuation warnings, then come calling later saying they want to be rescued?

I'm betting (and hoping) it's something along the lines of, "Fuck them. Idiots." That's my stance at least.

The people staying; I have mixed feelings. A brush fire may be defended against and there is no law stating the police and/or have to protect your home. On the other hand, these firestorms suck the breathable air away and if it burns your way you will die if you don't flee.

These are firestorms, not brushfires; if the Diablo Winds kick up early there are many people who will no longer be worrying about foreclosure and equity. I feel for those who have been unable to get insurance ( the state run coverage is difficult, the rules and regulations require borderline full time work to maintain and if you don't you get denied coverage.

i've posted before that my folks lost a house when Cali burned in '72. it was, the defining moment so far in their life.
just after the earthquakes of '71, i am surprised they did not move here sooner . . .
