Southern California fires!
« on: October 26, 2003, 09:44:36 am »
it started in Fontana... but that one has spread to La Verne! its huge! and worse yet, there are 4 separate big fires in So Cal right now. in San Diego, Clairmont, and Simi Valley too. this is so scary... i know people who live in or near those areas!!  :cry:  there are ashes falling outside my house right now, and i'm not really close to any of those areas!
and sick people are setting off fires... the arsonists. just in my town, i have seen 2 separate fires people have started. but those have been put out since then. but in like the span of an hour last night i saw 2 fires within a mile or 2 of my house!  8O  
this is soooo scary, i hate fires. luckily our house was saved.. but it came close and we lost our garage to one when i was younger... so especially since then ive been freaked out!
it is SO windy, hot and dry outside! which isnt good at all in a time like this....

Mandi can see the fire from her house. They are packing up and leaving right now. Her internet connection is down. She's IMing me from her cell right now. This doesn't look good. :(

Say hi to Mandi for me. I'm sure her rich pool and waterfall will stop the fires.  :)  I've got ashes falling at my house too.

Well, Mandi spend a night in a hotel. She's back at her house now. She can't really go outside, but the fire isn't that close to her anymore. The power was out and they said it wouldn't be back until the third. It came back today. Go figure. But yeah, she's ok. She also got today and yesterday off from school. She also gets tomorrow off. Lucky girl. :-P

wow... these fires are crazy! so scary!  :cry:  :!:
these are some numbers i got from the news, but they could be off.
· At least 17 dead, including two in Mexico
· More than 1,600 homes destroyed
. Somewhere between 500,000 and 600,000 ancres destroyed (thats about the size of the whole state of Rhode Island!)  8O

the area where i am is soooo eirie, there is so much smoke that i cant even see blue sky anymore... everythings a greyish brown. and the sun was bright red! its hot too... about 90 or higher.
