Southern California is burning....again

[ramonscottsports]

This will likely turn out worse that the Cedar fire of 2003 here in San Diego County... you can wiki that one...

Worse meaning there will likely be more than the 2,500 homes destroyed than that one. From the looks, and there is absolutely no way to tell at this point other than viedo coverage, I don't think there can be any less than 5,000 homes destroyed.

However, it could be less than the loss of life from the last fire, which may be considered a success, considering the damage.

Doesn't Mr Leisure live in San Diego? Hopefully he and our other area posters will check in as soon as they can.

Best wishes to them all.

Sorry about your pool, I was referencing the Beverly Hillbillies. Just a cheap shot at lame humor

One interesting piece of coverage was done by KFMB-TV Channel 8 reporter Larry Himmel.

The reporter stood in his driveway showing his completely destroyed remains of his home in which he said he lived in for 25 years.

Wow...that is too bad, Himmel is a long-time San Diego personality. Ramon, where are you located at?

we can only hope for another el nino this winter

 

[fhmesq44]

Was this one arson or simply normal SoCal fire?

I have to head down there this weekend (Anaheim and Santa Monica), not looking forward to it now. This is some scary shit. When I lived down there we had a few bigger fires and it isn't fun. There were two while I was in law school (Pepperdine, which always seems to be in the middle of it). During one there was a maintenance truck in the parking lot that was completely charred when we were able to go back to school. It was literally 50 feet from a school building.

truthfully, that only exacerbates the problem and likelihood of more fire. A lot of rain means more weed/tree growth which, when it stops raining, turns into taller and higher and more dried out weeds meaning more likely and worse fires. Isn't this kind of late for fires down there?

I heard downed power lines for the huge one in canyon country,and with the wind blowing so strong it spread like crazy

Pepperdine was evacuated yesterday but they were later told they were out of danger.

I live just a mile south of The Marketplace on Jamboree.

Check out Pei Wei and Lucille's BBQ. They're both in The Marketplace. Lucille's is packed on Saturday nights so don't expect good service. Pei Wei is a restaurant in the PF Chang's familiy of restaurants.

Nevermind QL....It just dawned on me that you were talking about The District when you mentioned The Marketplace.
