Over 500 mobile homes went down in flames yesterday.

I drove out to Cerritos/Long Beach right now and couldn't stand it.

The air was terrible.

Couldn't stop coughing.

A close friend of mine lives on the Yorba Linda/Anaheim Hills border... His neighborhood went into mandatory evac a couple hours ago. There's a good chance that by the end of tomorrow, he won't have a home to go back to.

Shitty shitty shitty. :naw:

Dude, I would panic if my area went up in flames.

Tools, my S13's, my parts, my collection of wheels, etc.

I would take off to U-Haul and rent a huge ass truck.

Stuff all my shit in there.

my gf's house (BREA) is where the fire is and her brothers highschool already went up in flames. she's witnessing people walking with suitcases because they had to evacuate but park their cars a few miles away from their homes since all streets are blocked. there is so much smoke, you can barely see your hands in front of you, all power is out so its dark. the only light they have is from the flames around them.

cxlo8331 lives in the same housing track.. i wish for everyone that lives in the fire areas to be safe.

It is hot in California because I am so hot. ZZZzzizzle.

We have hot beaches, best hot dogs, hot women, free hotspots at Starbukz, California is SUnshine State. We so hot, the trees say....

"hey, I am hot." Then they burn.

I say, if you live in Tornado area, don't be suprise if Tornado happens!

You live in forest, or mountain, don't be suprise at you get eat by Gorila or mountain lion. Or bush fire. Because, it will happen.

I blame Global Warming.

^^ Thanks man.

Hope Joi and her family were/are able to get out safely.

My wife, sister, brother-in-law, two neices, and myself evacuated earlier this afternoon just before the mandatory evacs were issued.

Too hard to breath in that thick black shit.

Luckily I was able to get all 4 cars out of the area.

Was able to get all docs, file cabinet, cpu tower, pictures, and clothes.

Flames were crazy close earlier today;, but passed quickly.

But unfortunately, the yorba linda fire is creeping fast.

Wind keeps kicking flames back up and shifting the direction of the fire.

Choppers were dropping water earlier literally in my back yard.

Hope all my neighbors get out ok if need be.

Some decided to stay.

Went back about an hour ago, but still cant get it.

We gotta walk in to the neighborhood.

Luckily the neighborhood is still safe.

Hopefully, everything will work out and no homes will be lost.

The smoke seems to lifted somewhat by now. Was pretty bad this morning, and spread out even as far as west LA/SFV.
This hasn't been a good year with all the socal fires. Hope those of you out there are safe!

yea..we're ok. we were on mandatory evac at 8 last night but my dad could not leave the house. he was telling my mom and everyone to leave and my dad and i were going to stay behind but we didn't want to separate from each other. at 7am this morning, my sister woke everyone up because her friend called and said that the fire was coming up on valencia toward our track. we could see the active flames across the street and the smoke clouding over our house from the balcony. the fire map scared my whole family..we were in the middle of the brea, yorba linda and carbon canyon fire. we packed and left but the fireman below told us we were still in the clear and that they would notify us again if we needed to evac. we didn't want to leave cause we wouldn't be able to come back in. i dropped my sis off at corner to get her car off of valencia since the fire was coming up. she called us crying and freaked out cause the fire had reached valencia and the trees were on fire by the side of the road where all the cars were parked. she said she had to walk with her arms out in front of her cus she couldn't see and that a fireman had to rescue her from the flames. the fireman drove with her in her car to where it was safe but she hasn't been able to come back. luckily my sister got to her car in time cause the fireman said that if she came any later..her car would have been gone and possibly her too. thank goodness my family is ok. the helicopters pass by every 15sec. i feel like we're in war or something.

the firemen have done a tremendous job of taming the flames. thank you thank you thank you to all of them!!! i hope everyone and their families are safe..

(carlo..i passed by your house this morning and was going to stop by but i forgot which house it was. im glad u and ur family are ok. take care)

Just passed by that mansion that burned down in yorba linda. That thing is toooaasted. The flames circled my ex-girlfriends house, luckily those homes were saved on weir canyon. Well, except for those expensive apartments that burned down. So bad

Asthma sucks too...hard to breathe in this nasty weather, even in Long beach at Formula D with all the ash falling on us it was still hard to breathe.

I feel for you guys - that shit sucks. Why don't they engineer housing developments with a "dead zone" around them for nothing to burn? They are brushfires that just keep spreading, right?

I mean, hindsight is 20/20 and they'll start doing it eventually - but as of now, hope nobody gets razed.
