Keep your head down, clear vegetation, make an evacuation plan. GL otherwise.

Here is a Merc News article: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_9554349?nclick_check=1

Was a source given for this or for the Corralitos fires? I really hope it is not a fire bug. Good luck to all who live in that area.

Yeah, we're not quite in the area that's on fire, though we're almost across the street from the evacuation shelter.. A friend's parents live Right There though, and were somewhat lucky to be on vacation in their RV. They returned home last night to find the roads blocked and forced to camp in Davenport. Thankfully my friend was able to get in past the road closure and get his parent's papers, computer, photoalbums, etc...

Last they checked the fire was going away from them, but could easily turn back on them if the winds change. My house sounded like an airport all evening with the DC10's and helicopters flying over constantly.

Oakland Hills are on fire now too, same place as 1991

Direct Quote from South Park:

"Cartman, you killed people."

Cartman - "No dude, I killed hippies. Hippies aren't people"

 

[zombi]

can you get high from smelling burning hippies?
