Thanks for reminding folks in SoCal and north to Las Vegas it looks like -- AAA has been issuing alerts all afternoon about getting the ash off your cars because it is corrosive. Actually it is a good warning for anyone in the Country around fires. Get your car cleaned off ASAP after encountering ash.

[MinuteGal]

Not a hair out of place on Gray Davis's carefully coiffed head. The timely plaid shirt kinda gets me, though.

I have been hitting mute on the TV as well! I will not listen to him!

[ridesthemiles]

And he just calmly says he'll be out of service when he lands.

Does Jockey even make a pair of shorts big enuf for this guy who stays so calm in the face of a heavy plane with "NO RUDDER". I worked for Jockey years and years and years ago, and I don't think they do...
Please give an update on this pilot if you can.

[CedarDave]

Screen shots please.

Crestline burning down

Weren't they saying on the thread the other day that if Crestline goes, there is no stopping it?

[spectr17]

Crestline is west of Lake Arrowhead a few miles, the whole area is on fire, the wind is whippin it into a firestorm

[lainie]

That makes sense. Never would have thought of it, though.

Julian Fire Info

[lainie]

They were saying if Crestline went, Arrowhead would, and THEN there was no stopping it. But the fire kind of went around the long way -- and is now almost doubling back to hit Crestline, isn't it?

[japaneseghost]

Drudge has a red headline that there was an earthquake near the (SB?) fire - anybody know about it?

[Not now, Not ever!]

Bump, Bttt, as a bookmark

[PhiKapMom]

They reported last night that Arrowhead and Crestline were both out of danger.

This morning I heard that some of the backfires they set had backfired on the firefighters when the wind picked up. Now saying there are heavy gust of winds in the Arrowhead area.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yeah, there was. But it was only a 3 pointer.

[meyer]

"...And then the big airplane came in like this, and that's how we fight forest fires. Next question..."

[lainie]

This fire is pixelating my dishnet

[Letitring]

I don't know, perhaps. We must protect this place, first, at all costs, imo. If not for Free Republic, folks like me would have zero knowledge of this event, not to mention many others.

I suspect many have already donated, I have, to several organizations in that region this week. Things like this just tear your heart out.
