markosis Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 So I woke up around 6:30 AM pacific time, and I noticed the sky was a little darker than normal, then stuck my head outside and smelled the smoke. There's ash floating in the pool in my condo . This shit's crazy for a Jersey boy like me, I'm not used to these kinds of natural dangers. As I look outsid now, it looks like fog, but its actually smoke. Lots of people are being evacuated because this thing is getting big. I'm sure it won't reach me because it would have to get severely huge. Since I'm unemployed I'll probably go assist at the evacuation center when shit dies down. I can't imagine getting woken up at 3 AM and leaving your home with the notion that it probably won't be there when you return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Of course there are fires. They've been advertising on the news all week that we were going to get some strong winds this weekend - they pyros had plenty of time to plan their orgasmic burns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Stay safe down there! There's a fire here, on Angel Island, which at least can't spread, but it's still a shocker. I don't remember ever seeing a fire out there before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Last year, my house was near the big fires down here in OC. Had my truck packed with my guitars ready to go. Kinda scary trying to decide what to keep... Good luck and stay safe, buddy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alison the wilca Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 i've almost burned down before (well, my house). evacuating is terrifying, especially when your family is split up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 where's Ms Yvon? is the fire near her place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 where's Ms Yvon? is the fire near her place?Probably not, although I have no idea where she lives, I'm guessing she chooses not to reside in the culturally devoid San Fernando Valley. All the fires are in the north of the LA area in the mountains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
