Cali Firestorm 2007

You all may have heard about the big cedar fires down here back in '03... Well guess what? Its BAAAAAACK! With a gusto too!!! Officials are saying that these fires are by far a whole lot worse than those cedar fires, we still have no idea whats going to happen but at least we are organized! However, organized doesn't much help the 0% contained fires in some regions!

Mabye you all havn't heard bout it though dont know all too many over here on the west coast. In anycase i got some up to date maps (sorry for all the "Me"s in there) http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/Gegis/Fires/

You know I have to say bad as this is i can just imagine the arguements comming... 'How come San Deigo got help from the government but New Orleans didn't! The case in San Diego isn't nearly as bad, they get help when we didn't get anything?!' All I can say its yer own fault for not getting out, I understand some cases but others... just don't bother.

My thoughts are with all CA inhabitants.

Fire near a nuclear plant ? O_o

I hope this'll stop soon...

[Gegis]

Yeah, i had forgotten about that plant... could be bad but i'd have to burn through lotsa concrete...

[Hasai]

Yeah, i had forgotten about that plant... could be bad but i'd have to burn through lotsa concrete...

A nuke plant is the last thing I'd worry about. Rather, I'd suggest fretting about things like oil storage sites, catalytic crackers, chemical plants, etc; what we used to call 'sympathetic targets' way-back when....

[Gegis]

Mmm far as i know none of those round here least that are in danger.
