hitting the hay now... got about a week of this ahead of us...let's start pacing ourselves...

[MSCASEY]

No he does not! Hope it stays down and dosn't hit the homes!

nite

[Ladypixel]

G'nite! :)

[Conservative4Ever]

Lady...have been ranting on another thread...NOTE...for all you freepers in the northern latitudes of US...big light show in the sky. Even OK and Iowa are reporting a great show. Might want to step outside and check it out.

[BBQ_Mike]

That's Burnt Mill Bridge... off of hwy 138 next to Silverwood Lake

[Ladypixel]

Oh, I'd heard about that! That's the northern-lights effect that the solar flare's giving us. I'm too far south to see it, alas... not to mention that the smoke would block it out anyhow.

As I recall, it's visible in Northern Cal, though.

[MSCASEY]

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho! Moved out of California in Jan 2000

MCD

[Conservative4Ever]

I'm over here east of Mentone...I think the cloud cover even here would keep it from being a show if it did work it's way this far south.

[MSCASEY]

To many clouds here in North Idaho! I sure would like to see the light show!

Scanner:

"Go over and take a look... we may need to move a strike team that way... they may need the help"

"Also, Dan, the fire that's down by Silverwood... it doesn't appear that we can do much with firefighting it tonight..."

"Cedar Pines Park" (Static obscured all but the name of the location)

"That's a little bit of good news. Only thing I can think of is taking a look down there and doing any defensive firing if we have to. I know it's a long shot..."

"Doesn't look great."

"Well, let's see what we can do with the Running Springs side, and we'll see what we can do with it over there."

"(static) Fire station, about 200 yards east of (static)"

"East or west?"

(static)

"Okay, be there in a sec..."

[BBQ_Mike]

Hmmm... looks like they're gonna let Silverwood burn and focus on the Live Oak / Manzanita Springs / Running Springs area...

[Conservative4Ever]

cloud cover

cloud cover..what am I thinking...smokey haze. Sheesh.

[Ladypixel]

Yup. My guess is that they've evacuated anyone who was near Silverwood, or else they wouldn't be moving over.

For the record, the control guy sounds completely exhausted and rather depressed on the scanners tonight.

[Conservative4Ever]

too bad...reports say it is beautiful... :(

[Ladypixel]

Should be pictures of it online by now, somewhere... :)

Sigh. I'd rather be watching that than watching a big ol' cloud of icky smoke any day.

[maryz]

You very kindly answered me yesterday about San Diego, but I couldn't be specific about where my relatives are -- does zip code 92122 mean anything to you?

Prayers (and sometimes tears) for all of you there!

[MSCASEY]

Woops I just went outside and it is clear as a bell now! I am going to see and then to bed!

MCD

[MSCASEY]

Where is Silverwood? How many homes are there approximately?

MCD

[Ladypixel]

Unfortunately, no; search on USPS.gov only shows it as "San Diego", which is a big ol' city area... but as far as I know, they /should/ be safe. Most of the city of San Diego proper is.
