W, this is freaking me out - all these reports of serial arson and yet news just refers to "wildfires" and "brushfires", or mentions the ONE fire accidently started by a hunter . . . HELLO MEDIA . . . something very scary is afoot . . .

[oceanperch]

Totally agree.

I have even been wishing all day that I would even be estatic to see Whorealtoego just to get some round the clock visuals and reports of needs down there.

I posted your arson fire on this thread: Arsonist started Waterman Fire. BonesMcCoy is keeping track of arson-related fires.

Are these creeps trying to light fires every hour or something?? WHY isn't anyone RUNNING THEM OFF THE ROAD??

[Brad’s Gramma]

Nite, nic...THANKS for all.

[nicmarlo]

Thanks, now am going to bed....had to post that arson fire on arson thread first. Night now.

They may be committed totheir cause...but least they're getting large doses of bad air in the process.

And they were probably among those supporting the (tobacco) smoking ban in california so they had clean air to breathe!!!

Getting ready to evacuate Porter Ranch!

Baby Bart kept chanting, "Must not sleep,... the clown will eat me"

I SO feel like that right now.

New Fire inside San Fernando Valley....

sesnon and neon way

Oh, that's great news that you are out of harm's way!! Now you can sleep peacefully again thru the night.

I never figured I'd need it but I made a list of things to toss into the car "in case". And that was before I heard today that the authorities will take you away if you refuse a mandatory evacuation order, and will cite you. Most of us would follow orders, I think, don't you? They're the professionals.

[skraeling]

Thank you for the fire map! I've been looking for something like that for 2 days!

[ArmstedFragg]

Now if I can just establish a one mile clear space I will be safe.

Of course the mud slide would kill you a few months later....

>> Would he by chance also have an antique appliance collection, and about 14 classic cars, and live on a hill? They said Blossom Valley on the news, but Blossom Valley borders Alpine on the East side.

I have never seen his collection, but I don't believe he has that many. He has spoken of only two. I am not sure about appliances, but I believe he has a collection of very old radios, and a collection of old Texaco Fuel Truck toys (I understand they can have hefty price tags). He and my sister moved from Marin County to Victoria Drive in Alpine about 10 years ago. From the pictures it appears they live in a valley.

[spectr17]

"Wish I knew what FReeper to credit "must not sleep...the clowns will eat me" but I thought it qualified as a first class FReeperism.Many heavy eyes watch these threads"

I'm soon going to have to take my heavy eyes to bed and take my chances with the clowns (thank heaven hubby's asleep)

[PhiKapMom]

Can you believe these people running around starting more fires tonight? That is beyond comprehension.
