If you are one of those people whose life would turn into cycle of therapy and depression if you lost your grandma's player piano, DON'T LIVE IN RURAL OR SEMI-RURAL CALIFORNIA.

On the other hand if you look at a fire as a way to upgrade to newer electronics and otherwise clear your life of flotsam and jetsam, then get that ranchhouse in the oaks.

Breh this isn't rural Commifornia at all. AZN mk1 lives 3 miles from where the fires are... I told her to get packing. More than 4000 homes are destroyed, we're not talking some BS water damage where you get to use it as an excuse to get a new couch and TV. We're talking obliterated like in Hiroshima.

Maybe you shouldn't live in a fire zone.

Had to drive to fountain valley to sign some pre-employment papers. Took me 2.5 hours to get there because of the 241/261 toll road closure. 99% in first gear. Pounding that clutch fork and t/o bearing. Poor I'm going to go take the fucking dirt bike today for the physical. Eat my ass traffic. Traffic was already starting to back up at 430AM.

That sucks it hard.

It was interesting.... You can see random spots of smoke off the gypsum canyon exit by Anaheim hills/ Yorba Linda area. It smells like fire in corona. Ain't nothing compared to the norcal fire though.

My comment wasn't directed at you numb nuts, just at the absurd comments I got after my house flooded last year.

This is no laughing matter. People joke around because fires are now limited to single homes from people being stupid. But Cal Fire is a serious .gov entity out west. There are fire stations all over the damn place because shit like this can and does happen.



The scary part is, there are too many fire fronts to battle at the same time, so I'm sure Cal Fire is having active discussions about which fronts to stop and which ones they'll let continue to burn. Which could mean protecting the huge cities and letting smaller towns burn. I'm sure they're concerned about the damage that could be done if something of this magnitude made its way to Sacramento or Fairfield. Think the Chicago fire of 1871...



Letting one area / house / community burn to save another.... That's an impossibly hard decision to make. If I lived in Napa / Sonoma area you bet your ass I'd be evacuating.

I didn’t say one bad word to you and actually sympathized, it was horrible what you had to go through.

That's really it. The houses Max is depicting think they are in "suburbia" but a lot of California is susceptible to the torch because of wind and vegetation issues. Santa Barbara? Lovely spot as we had discussed in detail with the proposed Troy move. Is the center of it going to get burnt? Not likely. The fringes? Happens all the time. The farther you move away from concrete and people, the closer you move to fire danger.

We have hazardous air warnings today ...

Stay safe dude. We used to get them pretty close to us in Lancaster in the hills just to the south of us. Was always crazy watching it finally reach the peak of those hills and start working its way down into our valley. Luckily it never made it all the way to us.

Right, every place on earth is susceptible to something... but this isn't a normal occurrence and will go down as one of the worst fires in California history. Norcal isn't exactly desert...

Hilton torched...

Concur.

Just fucking nuts, I have never seen anything in my life here... 15 years and counting...

Stay safe bro, hopefully some major rain comes your way

Good luck Max, and AZN Mk1.

I wonder how that house in the center foreground survived.

Nuts... I hope it will stop soon due to weather, the 12,000 firefighters fighting this can't seem to make a dent.

Not much you can do with 20 MPH winds fanning and spreading the flames, 12,000 people or 5 people.
