Flames are heading toward thousands of homes in the community in Lake Forest, in southern Orange County. My cousin lives in Lake Forest. I hope he and the cat are all right.

In the case of California, too much water will not be our problem!First come the autumn fires, then come the winter rains, and then comes the spring mudslides and floods.

I’ve been away from any reporting all day. Am now watching major news channels, and am in shock at the devastation. Duncan Hunter was on CNN and has arranged for the National Guard to come in (at noon tomorrow). Gov. Schwarzenegger’s request hasn’t reached the WH yet. None of this makes any sense. What will happen between now and noon tomorrow? And why hasn’t the Governor’s plea been received in Washington?
From the maps, it looks like a lot of people only have one way out of the mountains.
Then, the horses - running (with flames surrounding them) - not knowing where to go.
OMG, this is so horrible! PLEASE get out of there, anybody trying to stay and save their home! Prayers have continued all day. (I know they are being heard, but not sure about the answers!)

First come the autumn fires, then come the winter rains, and then comes the spring mudslides and floods. It does appear that mother nature is going to make that a flat place someday.

Is CNN reporting that Arnold hasn’t heard from the White House? That’s not right- I read-or- heard 2-3 times today that The White House has been in touch with California though I don’t remember if it was Arnold directly.

It does appear that mother nature is going to make that a flat place someday. Well, the San Gabriel Mountains, just north of Los Angeles, are some of the steepest mountains in any urban area. Don't think flat is in the cards.

It was reported that the Gov. had made an urgent request (dang - wish I wrote the words down) to the WH, and it had not been recieved yet. (Perhaps that means it hasn’t been responded to, at this time.) I thought when I heard it - GEEZE! What is the hold-up? I write an email to my friend in NY, and she gets it within a couple seconds. I call my friend in FL, and in two seconds we are talking on the phone. I know. I am wondering, too.

Don't think flat is in the cards. Sorry, I didn't mean it to think that it happen in our lifetime.
DC-10 did a drop on Lake Arrowhead fire approx 1715 hrs. It looked like he was too high and the winds scattered the Phoscheck.
Haven’t seen him since

If that were me I would find a hotel room somewhere until morning. Take what you can that’s important and go. Of course, as I’ve said before I’m a plan ahead kind of person.
If they feel where they are is safe then I guess it’s ok. But the weather service said the wind will not die down over night, so the fire can go any direction.

By 9am yesterday, wifey and I were both thinking about "Stage Two" of all this stuff....the winter rains, and ensuing goo that will re-disaster many of these areas.
