Mia of the [Dead] Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yeah, it's HORRIBLE. I have a lot of friends that live all over California. Right now, my best friends Will &Jessica are probably on alert to evacuate cause they live in Corona which is apparently a few cities away from San Diego. It's scary stuff. I wish I could help.

stephler Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 From what I've heard San Diego is EXTREMELY low on water which is horrible. Around 300,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and most of them are either taking shelter in evacuation centers but some of them are homeless which is heartbreaking. I've already found out that a few family friends have had their houses burned to the ground. This is all so crazy. The EXACT same thing happened four years ago but the fire was much smaller than this. I don't know when I first heard about I wasn't as worried because this had happened in San Diego and it was contained, but this time I'm super worried and I've been freaking out lately. I just want to go home but I'm pretty sure most of the roads are closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJess Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 and the wild animal park is in danger too. i swear. if one animal gets hurt in that park. im gonna go fight the fire my self. lol.. Oh my god I didn't know that! The wild animal park is freaking amazing. A good friends family has evacuated and one of my old friends from high school is leaving college tomorrow morning, so yeah I'm pretty worried. I know tons of people from that area. I'm REALLY hoping they're able to get this under control, it's awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arya Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 A close friend was evacuated from her home. I'm hoping the fires don't spread anymore. It's not near where I live yet, which is nice, but I wish the fires would stop. So many homes burned to the ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephler Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 A lot of people aren't considering this a "disaster" but so far 300,000 San Diegans have been evacuated and Hurrican Katrina evacuated 500,000. San Diego is finally getting air support so hopefully things may get slightly better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganm15 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 yep i live in cali, havent had school for 2days and watched the fire all weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJess Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 its apparently less than 5% controlled... Yeah I just saw this on Yahoo and they said with the wind it's not going to stop anytime soon. And it's definitely a disaster: Since they began Sunday, the fires have burned at least 245,957 acres, or 384 square miles — an area larger than New York City.
