how you holding up?

PEJ said:

Take care Pej!!!!!

That must really suck.

Football Practice was cancelled today cause of this, its bad for asthma and I don't want kids getting black lung.

They are setting up all the stadiums and arenas in SD up as Fire Shelters.

getting close to 300K people alone in San Diego County being forced to leave.

That's more than the people evacuated for Hurricane Katrina.

I don't know about where you guys are, but its windy as all get out in the San Bernardino County area which is horrible for the fires out here.

Anyone heard from Chico?

Shit. I haven't heard from him all day. I hope he's ok

Chico i believe is in North County and more than likely evacuated.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I've been wondering if he's ok!

More than likely evacuated somewhere safe, cause they aren't taking any chances in a lot of areas. Which seems to be running smoothly. Just left the Stadium, lots of people and businesses there helping out. There just as much attention being paid to pets and animals as to the people which is a great thing. All VCAs are offering free shelter to pets til Nov.

Dang! they've closed all the schools in the County for tomorrow, I just got my official phone call. No work tomorrow, I suppose, funny how unsettling that is.

Good the Navy is taking action and helping out, they got a high surplus of cots and stuff. The Governor was here just a few hours ago, I'm sure by now he's gone to LA now. It's sad one of our news anchors just watched his house burn to the ground.

Oh dear..... I dont think I knew just how bad it was there.... we are gettin extreme Irvine arrowhead coverage right now...

As I said months ago on pandr, many psychics predicted this, and that it would get worse, I would explore all options, no matter how seemingly crazy, about how these were started. Remember that strange smell in New York last year? http://prince.org/msg/105/227452

he listened to my myspace late last night (the 21st) but i don't know what he's up to today.

these fires serious, eh?

I really cant stand the smoke anymore... ( no choice is there) and for certain it is the least of problems but I am so tired of my allergies being this flared....

God help the 10000 firefighters and all those in harms way...

May all arsonests be lifted up in super scoopers and dumped on the very calamity they have brought on!

Cinnie said:

in SD they are.

i'm shocked at the lack of National Attention it's getting.

some are reporting upto 300,000 people have been evacuated.

last i saw on local news it's only going to get worse tonight.

My roommate and his bf are at Qualcom Stadium helping out. I'm at home nursing an infection otherwise I'd might be there as well.

that is the most upto date info on where the fire is.

wow... things have escalated today haven't they?

tomorrow morning my dearest friend and her family leave here
for southern cali for the next 12 days i told her there were
fires but didn't want to alarm her. they can figure it out when
they get there. if supa is in the smoke they will be too.

hope it rains. both to quell the fires and to clear the air for all you people

take care San Diego orgers!

ehuffnsd said:

Take care!!!!!

For Lake Arrowhead..... I have taken many orgers there... one of my favorite haunts... tragic...


Oh dear.... 139 houses gone and 0 containment firefighters are ordered to retreat tonight... not good ... not good at all....

California has had its driest year in history....and laid waste in recent times as Predom and many will remember once again is in cinders...

The storybook inn survives... good people providing a beautiful service.

everyone stay safe

still ok.

this is so sad i hope you are all safe and don't suffer property damage. i'm praying for you guys in CA.

President has just declared State of Emergency in San Diego. Would advise anyone traveling here not to come unless necessary. Evacuations in parts of Del Mar(far north), Chula Vista(far south), now Spring Valley(east). All Westfield shopping centers have been turned into evacuation locations, other locations are full to compacity. No garbage collection today, will resume tomorrow. Airport still open. Those of us that live relatively close to downtown SD and coastal edges are pretty safe so far. Only 5% contained. Gotta go things to do. All yall take care.

still burning up??? it looks like CA has an excellent disaster response mobilization. someone should let the rest of us know where donations will be needed.

still praying for you guys

I always suggest to donate to the red cross. My house burned down June of 1990, The Red Cross was there immediatly to help, real help. They gave us clothing vouchers to spend at Sears and emergency cash on day one. I am not kidding, they were the best, and they followed up on us.

We've hit the 500,000 evacuee mark last night. The smaller fires are joining together at this point to make larger ones. The winds are so high that water planes/helicopters aren't able to take off. I am so sorry for anyone down there affected, whether by fire or smoke. It's unbelieveable.
