Local media reports said actors Matthew McConaughey and Minnie Driver were among those forced to evacuate while Red Hot Chili Peppers bass guitarist Flea's home was destroyed by the flames.

Flea had to flee?

The Rich and Famous subjected to the caprice of Mother Nature? WRONG! Its all Bush's fault!

Minnie Driver....




AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG....

I had a storm cellar put in because of the propensity of the area to have tornadoes. If these folks are so rich, what would it take to build a house that could sustain one of those fires? Enough money would give a solution to that problem IMHO.

My heart goes out to all of them. As was once said, the bigger they are, the tougher they fall.

Hopefully, this will remind everyone affected that "things" aren't as important as people.

So sad. Prayers go out to all.

Dear me. Are we to assume that these extravagantly rich celebrities didn’t fire proof the area around their homes? But celebrities are so intelligent and well-qualified to tell the rest of us about politics and global warming. I don’t understand how they let this happen!

Offering a room to Matthew!

My goodness ---how un-FReeper like of you all.

One of the reasons those outside the U.S. don't like us, is for this very reason you are demonstrating. People can't look at wealth and say, "Good for them."

The Left should be ashamed of themselves for being stupid, but please people...don't follow them down that path.

I don’t wish ill on any of these people, but I just can’t pull together a whole bunch of tears when people with significantly fewer resources also lost all that they had and will be a long time re-building

[clintonh8r]

Minnie can stay with me....

I pray that Jesus will help all of the people and animals that are in the path of the fire.

Karl Rove was seen in the vicinity of the fires origin with a five gallon gasoline can and a BIC lighter.

[metmom]

Yup...

[fish hawk]

Hey Sub, you related to Minnie?

[yorkie]

I am dismayed and shocked (to say the least) at some of the discompassionate replys from FReepers - at a time when so many people’s lives are being threatened along with their pets and their homes.

[Revolting cat!]

Minnie Driver

Relation of yours?

[Revolting cat!]

Minnie Driver? Can't the name the person?

[calcowgirl]

10,000 people evacuated. 4500 acres burned. 51 homes destroyed, more damaged.

Perhaps you could add some sincerity to your post.

[Revolting cat!]

The upside, the silver lining, always think positively, is that after it’s all over, there may be no celebrities left (no pun intended) to tell us how to live, how to vote, how to think, how to save the planet, while they themselves drive the gas guzzlers, fly private jets and build homes where no sane person would build a home. Remember, the upside - no more celebrities, the people known for being known!

My adopted son’s house burned to the ground last year in November. It has been a nightmare for them. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Prayers go out for all who are affected.
