I'M DOING GOOD!

House is still standing, everything around us is burned. We hope to get back into the house sometime today, I will post pics once I have power and an interconnect connection at home.

Bad_Knees, good to hear it.


I just heard that theres i fire in Encinites, which is pretty close to my house. The whole place is surrounded in like a weird orange fog.

Glad to hear that you and your family are doing good. I'm sorry to hear about your neighborhood, but I'm glad that your house is okay. Let us know if you need anything.

[Army]

Thank God for your good fortune BK.

I'm 200+ miles from the closest one, and over 400+ miles from the San Diego ones, yet we are now getting blanketed by the smoke.

We had a small one here, 200+ acres, but the weather co-operated and as it crested the mountains, the wind blew it back onto itself...shwew, close one.

Prayers are out for all you So-Cal members and families.

Here's a space shot from this afternoon. Look north along the coast, until you see a little red dot with smoke. That's our fire, just 3 miles away from me. No winds, thank God, but the crews say containment is iffy at this time.


Smoke from it coming over the hill:

I hope everything is okay with your Army. My prayers are with you and everyone who is affected by this.

Whoa...so that is what blue skies look like? It has been a while since I've seen anything, but orange.

[Matt_mg]

Maybe you should try bombing the fire, the blast should put out the flames...

Hehe, good luck and godspeed guys

Exactly what I thought. lol... All day it looked like I was looking through light brown tinted glasses. I'm kind of in the middle of the Chattsworth, San Bern fires.

Yikes, I live in Oceanside a month out of every year, glad it's august and not october. Good luck to everyone down there, I have huge ties to socal and I feel for you guys. Sir Foxalot, where in Glendale do you live? I was born there & lived in La Canada for 7 years.
