sgoodcore Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 My office is down the street from the Irvine fire. My mom is in the middle of the Saugus fire and some of my mom's friends are currently evacuated from their homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 the one about 4 years ago was pretty ridiculous and lasted for at least a week. sad to think all this shit is due to some shithead arsonist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xunspokenliesx Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yah, all my friends and their families have been evacuated from Poway, Rancho Bernardo area... One of my buddies watched his mom's house burn down on CNN... This shit is more intense than the Cedar fire in 03...really crazy... I'm just hoping my parents don't have to evacuate, even though they are all packed up and ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shit is more intense than the Cedar fire in 03...really crazy... I'm just hoping my parents don't have to evacuate, even though they are all packed up and ready to go I think they're saying its the worst fire in quite some time, much worse than Cedar in '03. I was reading earlier they thought the San Diego fire would burn to the coast. That's quite worrisome. No idea if that's still true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I know it's bad, I don't know if it's as bad as the Cedar since that burned almost 5,000 structures, but we'll see as they haven't even announced a number of structures this has burned, but my parents are saying they are estimating almost a 100 in Poway alone.

magalvsr13 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 the thing that is making this worse than the cedar fires already is they sprung up so fast and are spreading at ridiculous speeds due to the wind in some areas...like someone said earlier, there are hurricane force winds pushing some of these fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
