Are you ok?

[AlBondigas]

there's always fiberglass & steel simulated shakes

[Conservative4Ever]

last fire season we had a fire and the choppers used a local manmade lake to refill...flew over my work and we were hit by the dripping water as they flew over..yeah..they were flying low. Those guys do an incredible job.

[onyx]

The fire is getting near Hildy. Within 3 miles of her just a few minutes ago. 3 miles is NOTHING --- I used to live in her exact area ---

please commence praying

[maggief]

A thread was created but later pulled.

[It's me]

Where does Hildy live?

[Conservative4Ever]

if I were gonna build anywhere in SoCal..I would figure in the budget for a metal roof.

[Conservative4Ever]

Just damn....prayers on the way.

[AlBondigas]

metal's the more expensive (vs. tile)...FYI

[onyx]

East County --- approx. 3 miles from Cuyamaca College, where evacuations are currently underway.

[Toidylop]

The wind is dead calm for the time being. That's why some of us decided to hang in (we only urge one elderly couple across from my house to leave). We just spent a nerve-breaking night to see the fire at a very close distant though. The sky is brown with thick smoke now... We just hope to go through the day with calm wind. Let's pray.

[visualops]

Having come home one day to a fire on the mountain (Paris Mtn., Greenville, SC), and apparently got thru just before road blocks (or I wouldn't have made it home), and the anxiety waiting for word of evacuations, I cannot even IMAGINE being near fires of these proportions. Luckily the fire was out after some hours and we were not among the evacuated. We have since moved further away from the mountain, but that was an experience I'll never forget.

I spoke with my son last night around 11 PM PST. His girlfriend's family packed all the important family items into their cars and headed for a motel. They live in Eastlake. I just tried to call his cell phone to get a status and I'm getting all circuits busy. Anyone have a status on the Eastlake area?

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

[Fitzcarraldo]

Our prayers are with you, your neighbors and the firefighters. Hang tough, but if the wind starts up again heed the advice of the authorities and bail.
