I can't get either of those...please keep us posted down here in SD.

One of our local stations broke with a news chopper that crashed in Brooklyn (apparently very recently) and they were acting like someone would be recognized? But only heard part of it. It didn't look good from what I saw. Switched and they were having a problem with the live view of the Eagle/Temecula fire, but mentioned that that one, the Gafford/Elsinore one and the Cerrito/Corona/whatever the other name is are all getting bad, especially as the winds may pick up now.

We're obviously not getting much till they get the signal back up to the Temecula fire.
