But still, if the fire is out of control, **** can hit the fan. Is there much wind in La Jolla?

Saw some good suggestions on what to grab.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I would definately take my computer. Leave the monitor- that's not a bid deal. Stuff on my hard drive is irreplacable

But I have backup up some of my music and porn (yes I admit it ) on CD's . I may get a DVD burner eventually. Even better storage. In that case you can just take up your backed up CD's/DVD's.

Take your titles and other legal documents. Take your social security card. Take your info. related to any mortgage you may have. Contracts and anything of the sort.

Porno magazines and videos.

other DVD's

sentimental objects

couches

chairs

microwave

bed- you need to sleep on something.

be sure to take all that stuff

Weather forcasters are saying that the prevailing winds will not die down untill around 5pm on Tuesday. The winds will blow west-south-west from around 20 - 30 mph until the jet stream heads south and cools us down. I'd say I'm safe here until at least tomorrow. The ash is starting to pile up, the sky is still dark, my friend, who lost his house in the 1991 Oakland hills fire, had his uncle lose his house today. Talk about bad luck.

That looks like a frckin' ****-astrophe.

Is it possible that power could go out in South Cal? (Noticing that most of them aren't online )

as you can see from the picture the fire does threaten transmission lines.

Interesting picture in the background.

But what exactly is that person doing?

When fires break up simultaneously in many different places, at about the same time, in a windy day, be sure it is arson. When this happens in an inhabited area, where there are no special interests on starting a fire (landgrabbing, stripping the woods to turn them to fields or pastures), then it's either a wacko pyromaniac or a foreign agent responsible.

Arson is by far the most safe and effective way a single person can do damage to a country. If I were the Al Qaeda and i wanted to hurt America, I'd have all my people start fires in the suburbia, during the summer.

You're kidding, right?

It's a windy day. Burning embers from the fire get picked up, carried a mile, and drop down on dry wood and make it catch fire as well. that's how fires start simultaneously.

Looks like the fires may move the Monday Night Football game from San Diego to Arizona.

It doesn't help that the parking lot at Qual Com stadium is being used as an evacuation center.

All the major highways (freeways in SoCal speech) are closed except for I-5. This seems so surreal. We are surrounded by fire, and theres only one way to get out (besides Lonestar's ship)
