its still a pretty good distance from la mesa, its going to have to go over mt helix. that evacuation zone line has barely moved since like noon. hopefully it stays that way.
Michael Reagan (Ronald Reagan’s normal son) is being interviewed and as I turned the TV on I heard him commenting that…
These fires are much worse than they should be because all of the environmental laws out in CA protecting certain aspects of the environment which then limits what can be done to the environment and thus causes great overgrowth of brush which further ignites the fires. For example when certain (protected) beetles cause trees to rot, we can’t go in to clean up the mess so the brush and debris accumulates making tinder for
these fires.
And also he commented that all of these laws limit the construction of roads and therefore the fireman can’t easily get to the fires because there are no roads to get there.
Michael then commented that he hasn’t seen any of the environmentalists starting a bucket brigade to save the trees that are so important every other day of the year.
It was an interesting perspective.
He also commented that the liberal media are hounding Governor Schwartzeneger about why the helicopters took so long to get into the air…looking for someone to blame for the spreading…and he said the wind are hurricane force - THEY CAN"T FLY IN THE WIND LIKE THAT!
Just some food for thought.
So as with most of CA’s problems (traffic, power outages, illegal immigrants) this is yet another problem they caused themselves.
I wonder how that endangered beetle does when you burn the fallen tree it was living in.
^I guess it’s no different than any of the other liberal, warm and fuzzy, make me feel good plans that have backfired.
They ignore logic and do what makes them feel good.
God, what is this going to do to our insurance across the board…ugh.
Another reason why Buffalo…isn’t so bad after all…
every other year… you’d think they’d make a more concerted effort to listen to Smokey da bear.
Not to make light of what is happening, but simply to opine on the whiners throwing stones about the “lack” of response.

If they don’t get this under control, it could be Katrina-esque in terms of property damage.

much higher market $$ tho…
either way.
This would be a terror job even a child could pull off.
Has anyone mentioned Terrorism yet?
FOX news?
^ Plus, it will never be Katrina-esque because when they told half a million people to get out of the way in San Diego… imagine that, they got out of the way.
just found out my sister’s place is right in the middle of this practically. The school where she teaches at is being used as a shelter right now. Im just glad she can stay on the military base with my brother in law, its relatively safe there.
I guess you guys in san diego havent had any rain in 9 months? thats hardcore dryness right there. Hope everyone is safe.
ahh, gotcha

you would think with all the “terrorists and Al-Quada sympathizers etc” that are supposedly already in this country they would have started fires long ago but its not the case.
My dad just told me that someone was spotted from a helicoptor lighting a fire?!?!?
I don’t know where he heard that.
