We had the Mississippi flood there a couple of times the last decade and the rest of the nation raised hell for houses being built so close the river and rightly so. I think the bailouts were in the billions of dollars if I remember right. Let's hope this fire spurs some common sense into those that block forst management. But this is the umpteenth fire in the last few years and the liberals haven't learned anything so we'll watch the same thing next year somewhere.

My wife is at work, 3 miles from where the fire jumped to Granada Hills. I have close friends in Hemet that were packed and ready to move out. I have elderly relatives in San Diego who have been evacuated. I am sitting smack dab between the SB fires, and the Simi Fire, and my lungs, car, eyes are covered with soot.

This is not time to debate your California hatred in this thread. Take it somewhere else. Create a vanity about it. Otherwise, be gone. This thread is being used by Californians and their loved ones, to get vital news about where evacuations, and hotspots are going on. My last word to you. Good day to you sir.

Okay, you're trolling well; I could not help but respond to this one, as your ignorance is staggering.

Not all of the areas that are affected are forest areas. In fact, not all of the areas affected are residential in the slightest; many of the locations where the fires started were open, unused land. There are thousands and thousands of miles of area in Southern California, and if you haven't heard recently, we're currently in a budget defecit. Where, exactly, do you want us to pull the money for more forest management? From the air? Do you have a money tree, troll?

Please, before I get any angrier at your ignorant comments, I recommend you read the live news-only thread I've been posting, and actually /read/ it so that you have a clue of what's going on out here. Once you've completed all nearly 100 posts, /then/ you might have a clue as to what's going on. Oh - and don't post on that thread unless you're posting fire news; it is intended as a news-only, no-commentary thread.

Until then, curb your idiotic comments, because they're not needed nor wanted by any of us who are watching fire rain practically from the sky.

Let's hope this fire spurs some common sense into those that block forst management.

Despite the fact that these fires have raged through "National Forests" most of what has been burning is brush. When the day comes that someone offers to pay money to clear brush away Cailfornia's wildfire problems will be mostly solved. Until then, fire breaks and occasional small brush fires seem to be the best solutions.
