Southern California Firestorm - 11/15/08

Our whole county seems to be on fire here in Orange County, California, as well as a few other places to the north and northeast of where I live.

These are meant more to document this bleak and windy day...

Damn. I hope your house turns out alright and any loved ones you have around you. Wildfires are horrible.

Hope all is ok.

Thanks guys... all is okay near my house (we live in the suburbs, not the hills) but a lot of damage is being done, naturally. I do hope any members in Corona, Yorba Linda, Brea, Sylmar, Montecito, etc are alright and may your homes be saved! Hug a firefighter!

Wowser! Thx for the shots

Hug two! Dramatic shots.

my neighborhood is like ghost town now. Plenty of multi-million home down to the ground. I was stucked in the traffic right next to the cascade apartment in anaheim hills burn down yesterday. The scence at fw 91/weir caynon exist is madness. Just like in the movie when everyone try to turn back and run back at the oposite side of the fw back to the inside street.

Hope for clam winds to help the firefighters. This make our cold winters here seem a little easier.

scary, maybe its best not to rebuild in areas where fire is a natural part of the cycle?

^ Yeah, you'd think... I think right now, two of my friends have lost their homes, and one of my brother's friends lost his home and his poor cat. Thankfully we live away from the fires but it's so devastating. I do believe they're beginning to get a grip on them.

LOVE the sky!

Holy sweet mother of old thread.
