1400 degrees.... and over 85K acres
and of course the emblematic guy in flip-flops with a garden hose :grr:
I wish the media would STOP showing these deluded people with hoses.

People need to get the kids, pets, photos & irreplaceable mementos and LEAVE...

Dead-dad with a melted garden hose in-hand is no "win"..

factoid:


85 000 acres = 132.8125 sq. mi.


Atlanta = 132 sq miles.

4. California firemen saved my house. You get a lump in your throat watching these guys sometimes.

3. I'm worried about the winds from that hurricane barreling
down the Baja, too. I know the rain would be welcome, but those winds?

My thoughts are with everyone in SoCal.
