• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The fires are burning again and I just wanted to give out my thoughts and prayers for the fire crews and citizens who never seem to catch a break. I have a brother-in-law and a couple of buddies out there, ants against the tsunami.

I grew up in Sunland and Tujunga my parents still live half a block from Sunland Park. I went to school at ST James in La Crescenta . I have been watching this fire very close. I hope your front row seat does not turn into an in the round seat.

I was trying to find a satellite picture of the fires...couldn't find anything suitable. They look real bad. Past the time to run like hell. SOK..I found some, oh gaud.
 
Anyone else find Technogrunt's post written in invisible ink? Guess he chose the same color font as my background?
Anyways Grunt, I'm not THAT close. Not in any danger, but still covered in ash.
 
I used to have a hobby a few years ago of walking around the yard and collecting burnt leaves that were still in perfect condition. Its amazing to think they flew 50 miles and are still perfect.
 
i heard today that over 120.000 acres have bured in the station fire and theyve only lost 30 homes..and its been buring several days......the 49 fire in auburn staurday burned 60 homes and 10-12 businesses in aproxamatly 2-1/2 hours and 340 acres.....was awesome...but trerrible...dogs were killed.cats..there are dead squirrels all over the roads out there...sad...
 
After being burned out in the witch creek fire 2 years ago, I know what they are going through.

The worst part is not the dead animals, but the burned and injured ones
