It's all over but the crying

[spectr17]

Crossing my fingers and hoping beyond hope that you're wrong - because I have many fond memories of all of that area.

Course, I have many fond memories of childhood summers in Crestline, too. Siiiigh...

Ouch.

I can't get through to my friends house. He had to evac outta there. He is not dumb enough to stay in the danger zone of Lake Arrowhead. What is the ETA of that fire hitting there? By dawn? or way before it? Rememeber..it is 2:18 am here on the east so I am trying to estimate something here.

Obviously all of the cable news networks sucking as usual..all in bed.

[My Favorite Headache]

Are they trying to say John Elway started the Old Fire?

It all depends on the wind.

We are in Texas, but have many ties to these burn areas located within the Southern Calif. Again thanks to you and all on this thread for your very hard work in keeping us informed. It is just heartbreaking to hear of the damage these fires have caused to those of you there in the area and to their love ones living far away, trying to get some kind of news. It has just made us sick to hear the names of so many places there in Calif. that members of our family love so dearly, going up in smoke or in danger of doing so.
Please know you are all in our prayers. God bless once again our brave fire fighters!

From one of us SoCal residents, thank you for those prayers; we desperately need 'em out here.
