The intersection also contained water lines too which were blown up when the gas line let go.. hence no water immediately available to fight the fires.

*Sigh* - of course - that makes sense.

It would be a horrible way to go, no doubt about it. But with the kind of temps that inferno was putting out, I doubt anyone suffered long. :-(

Crazy isn’t it?

I turned to CNN got some news but Dr. Oz’s polyp was more important.

(and I am already edgy enought about my colonoscopy in 2 weeks, trying to make light of it as my son’s massage therapist got her’s done today, same Doc, so I am kidding with the worried son that when I come home I will peak in on him and his therapist and tell her I have been with the same hose she has)

But yeah seems news is all pre-planned with guests and the world going to hell is not news.

Brittany Spears showed her hoo haw to her bodyguard and he is scarred for life so suing her. UHG! That’s why I quit tuning into the news. Repetitive crap 24/7.

True,but after seeing the over reaction of the burning of the Quran it makes me think they are afraid the finger in the will be released.

Yea, those homes are done and anyone in them...I think we need to not assume the deaths and injuries are as reported...several hospitals are reporting thier numbers each so better we just wait...bottom line is one injured and one death is too much.

Ps...Guy just said glass windows were melting from the heat of this fire.....and the sound of this fire was like a roar...

Thanks for the post from the area.

Glad it’s going down but I can’t imagine the agony you and yours are going through with such a tramatic situation happening so close to home.

Godspeed....

Don't worry about it. Presuming that they are giving you sedation, you won't remember any of it.

The preparation is the worst part.

ALL the surgeons at the burn hospital showed up...they didn’t even have to be called..when they found out they went in and are all prepared for whom may come in...they expect more...the patients are stabilized at the local hopitals first and then sent to the burn center where these surgeons are waiting...same with nurses...all are on deck.

That type of response is what gives me hope for this country.

He also stated that a PG & E crew was there some days ago where the explosion occur.

Sounds like PG&E has reason to be slow in answering questions. Tragic if this is poor utility response. Just talked to my SIL who recently moved across the bay from this neighborhood. She is very concerned for friends.

What scares me, in the town next to me they have lines running through subdivisions with surface valve stations within 20 to 30 feet of houses. You could not pay me to live anywhere near them. Those lines have been there for years and the subdivisions grew up around them.

I had a colonoscopy last year, it wasn’t bad. The prep wasn’t even that bad, except for ~going~ so much—hope things turn out just fine for you! Will keep you in my prayers.

I am guessing here but if folks were reporting gas smells and something was over looked or not followed up on some heads need to spin.

Local Fox channel said that 4 people died. Also it may take days to know the real cause.
