are they near glenn or his dad or any other of the FWW members here?
Update. There are three other fires of note. Two are 100% contained and one is 95% contained. That one is closest to Glenn but still a ways away. There is one raging in Vaughn's old neighborhood with loss of structures and manditory evacuations. These bad winds are predicted through Thursday, so things can and probably will get worse.
Jim B. and I and are probably the safest at the moment as we live in very well developed areas away from tons of vegetation. We're not fireproof but my mind rest a little easier with the new location. The old one was the gateway to a canyon, or in this part of the world, a fire trap.
With the amount of oil Exxon has bumped into the pacific it just may burst into flames.Semi-related note...I heard the talking heads on the radio news discussing the fire in the coastal town of Carpenteria today, and the mental giant on the microphone said something to the effect of "Firefighters were able to stop the flames when they reached the water's edge."
Thank goodness they stopped the fire before the entire Pacific ocean burst into flames.
