anyone here affected by it?

Nope, I b'lieve it's just us in here. They might as well shut down the West Forum.....

or we can use it to rise our post counts? and some good does come outta it. great meet yesterday. shouldve came, lots o beer!!!!!

Car is getting dirty from the ashes coming down :(



A lot of people have lost their homes which is worse, i feel sorry for them.

yes good thing it is being declared a state of emergency. that means the gov will help the people out right

A very close friend of mine lives in chatsworth and he had to evacuate. He lives at the bottom of a hill, and once the homes on top catch on fire his house is done for. Things dont seem to be looking better either.

sorry to hear. my prayers go out to everyone who is affected by this

the fires have burnt an area that is larger than the state of rhode island.

my friends in vegas said the smoke was bad there, that is a big damn fire if it is seen in vegas

not directly, I work for SBC aka pacbell, we're loaning a lot of our outside plant technicians down there to help with burnt tele poles and underground cable. I'm going down probably in about 2 to 3 months to finish up things after the homes have been rebuilt.
