San Diego County fires - Live Thread 10/26

New threat regarding San Diego County fires.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

FoX News Channel 11 Los Angeles News reports that a small plane just crashed on the 163 Frwy at the Balboa Exit. Pilot walked away.

And the Hits just keep coming.

The smoke is horrid in East County. Is this worse than the Laguna Fire of '70? The envirowackos should be tried then publically hung. All the little ELF bastards that is.

It's so dark outside right now, it's eeerie.

Foxnews LA channel 11 has been reporting from San Diego, and the interviewee says 10 dead. Anyone else heard that high of a number?

[Not A Snowbird]

Oh, good. Thanks for the update.

My husband was just talking to his friend down there, and he said the fire has circled around somehow and is now threatening the brig at Miramar. If that's the case, it would also be threatening the airfield...

We're convinced the fires have been set and are being set as I type this.

My neighbors are on "canyon watch" --- or should I say "cretin watch."

[nicmarlo]

No....but that is probably correct...last I saw it had gone up to 8 from 7.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I've heard 11 from KFWB.

[onyx]

It's accurate thus far --- 10 dead.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I saw 9 on a SD news site.

WAIT. 11 total, ALL fires. I think.

Oh heck, I'm going to stop posting.......and just read.

[nicmarlo]

Reporting now that flames are as high as 100 feet in Valley Center fire.

[maggief]

Thanks. It's tough keeping up on all the news via FR (always the best source), scanners, and local audio feeds. Where's FOX news?!?

[WestCoastGal]

Caller from Center City Parkway Escondido, fire crested hill dropping down to Lake Dixon area.

Valley Pkwy & Citrus, crested with 150' flames, only a two lane Rd.

[lainie]

Drudge's main link says 11 dead as per KNBC

[Brad’s Gramma]

Hey, that's not bad. I read on a different thread that we're all wealthy and WE should pay for this, not the feds.


NOW I'll stop posting. :-)

rerunning FNS

[nicmarlo]

FOX news is doing what they've been doing best this whole weekend.....covering the Iraqi bombing and Middle East Ramadan celebrations.

When you think about this, the horror really sets in. Just where does one go when they evacuate? It seems the entire area is on fire or being set on fire. These poor people, their children, it is so sad.
