Wind and Fire

I'm OK, but there are far too many on my flist and at work here that are being threatened by the many brush fires in Southern California. The winds are horrendous, 80 to 90 mph gusts. No wonder I lost my poor tree.

Prayers and good vibes to all of you that are effected, evacuees and otherwise.

I'm not in any peril myself, but there are many who are. Prayers, good vibes, positive thoughts: all good.

Absolutely! And I've been keeping an eye on it all day.

Is it anywhere near Big Bear Lake? I have a couple of friends there and my actor boy is a supporter of the Moonridge Zoo there.

My daughter told me there was fire near Lake Arrowhead, but I haven't listened to the news yet. Must go turn it on. I wish your friends and actor boy good luck. Hopefully the winds will die down by tomorrow afternoon, as they are predicting.

Thanks for the update!

Those damn Santa Ana winds.... GAH!!! Yes, I'm hoping then chill out and stop making the firefighting so hard.

I heard Pepperdine was evacuated and it was only about 1/4 mile away. Did they sustain any damage?

I don't know if Pepperdine sustained damage. It's pretty green and well watered on the grounds (because this sort of thing happens occasionally). I can't believe it was only a week ago we were there, to see a play, and then driving down PCH to the Chart House and the Getty. It was so beautiful that day.

I need to go turn on the news. :(

It's so sad to see so much burning!! Do they know what started it all?

Some of the fires are arson. Some are not. When it's this dry and windy, it's way too easy for fires to start.

I was afraid it was just plain stupidity of some moron throwing out a cigarette butt. :( Sadly, I'm not surprised by the arson thing either. *sigh*
