NBC San Diego ^ | October 26, 2003

"Flames stoked by powerful winds raced through Southern California on Sunday, growing to more than 208,000 acres, destroying 500 homes in densely populated SUBURBS [not the actual city] and causing at least 11 deaths.

At least eight people were killed in the state's largest fire in EASTERN San Diego, including two who died inside their car as they apparently tried to escape the flames, said San Diego Sheriff Bill Kolender said."

Unbelievable bonehead remark.

How is it in the Poway - Rancho Bernardo area?

until the Golden Gate or the Bay Bridge is in the water....soooooo what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason we don't want to make the money loans is because we want other countries to both give money and to forgive past unpaid debts by Iraq.

If we demand repayment so will everyone else.

If Iraq fails all the lives and treasure spent to date will have been wasted. It is stupid to be penny wise and pound foolish.

[Spunky]

Oh! I am so sorry if you lost your house, but I see you saved your computer. :-)

Imagine an army of small planes dropping fire bombs throughout the west at the same time...

[Jorge]

This is a joke right? Tell me you're not serious.

I'm still here. Don't know what's going to happen. I have bags and boxes packed ready to go if we have to. This is a very scary time. I can't even imagine how the people feel who have already lost their homes.

[Simcha7]

SHALOM!

Dear Hildy,

Please keep calm, Pray and if You cannot Pray, say the NAME of Yeshua / Jesus...did You know that even HIS Name is a Prayer?!

We cannot imagine what all of you are going through right now.

I am very concerned for You and will continue to Pray, because from the East Coast that is all I can do.

I do know that The LORD is with You, and You must TRUST Him.

Use good common sense, and be prepared.

GOD BLESS YOU and Your Household.

Please post on this thread when you can to let us know that You and Yours are OK.

This would not be happening if the United States, this wealthiest nation on earth, had a DEFENSE DEPARTMENT and a WHITE HOUSE that had cared enough about the American people to make sure there was a NATIONAL FIRE-FIGHTING FORCE equipped to protect us, which is what our government's number one obligation is supposed to be.

Anything else you care to blame on Bush???

[onyx]

Thank you for your prayers and kind comments. I'm safe and fire won't get near me, but I am also worried and praying for everyone.

Thanks again. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you SO MUCH for the prayers...we ALL know how prayers are answered, don't we?

:-)

[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we pray for all those caught in this disaster. Calm the winds I pray .. give strength and endurance to the firefighters and shelter for those who must evacuate. Send relief to the area, in the name of Jesus, Amen ..

[onyx]

That is so sweet. Yes, the fire fighters face the brunt of the danger. May God watch over them and keep them safe.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
