QUOTE(Villainess @ Oct 22 2007, 05:46 PM)  Geeze. What triggered all of this? The fire in my area (I'm in southern SD too) was started cuz some stupid idiot was pissed at going to school.  Here's a pic from my friend's backyard taken at 3:50-ish (I'm a couple of miles away from her):

One of my friends that goes to pepperdine is ok. I'm glad she is. She posted a bullentin earlier about the whole thing. So thats good. My other family in San Diego my parents talked to them.
I hope everyone is ok though  |

Update from Elba:
"Yeah. It's 5 miles east right now. Winds are crazy. Hopefully we won't have to evacuate." |

I swear I heard on CNN that one of the fires will be lasting for another 3-4 days or something.

Also yay science lesson time :D Forest fires are often stopped at the very start, no matter how minor they are. This allows everything, shrubs etc, to grow and prosper. When a fire comes and ignites these shrubs, the fire grows incredibly quick and is near impossible to contain. By letting smaller fire run through the forest, the brush is thinned out considerably and prevents the fuel for these large fires. |

 i did your boyfriend Group: Official Designer Posts: 3,335 Joined: Feb 2004 Member No: 4,071 |
fortunately, we didnt have to evacuate, but parts of tustin (right around the friggin corner) did. the smoke is crazy where i am though, i got ashes all over my goddamned car.
hope elba is okay. i know it's considerably worse down south of us. on an extra note: forest fires are easily spread because of the embers that fly up into the air, and since we have had some heavy ass Santa Ana Winds blow through here during the weekend, it caries the embers to other parts of the forest and starts new fires there. |

But I still have to throw my clothes in the dryer... It's far off though. I think it's on the other side of the lake.
And Trish is right. These damn Santa Ana winds are making things a million times worse. |

Oh my god, I hope you'll be okay Elba! And everyone else in the area!
 Thats freaky..we had a ton of forest fires a few summers ago, it was crazy. Some people had to evacuate here too but it was in more rural areas.

But if it did cross the lake (if that could even happen since its fire and fire + water = x okayi'llshutupnow) then I'd evacuate ASAP. |

Elba, if you need a place to stay, hit me up!
 Well, I can't see anything from where I am... *looks out Tony's window*  Elba remember the fire back in 2003/2004-ish? |
