Ordered to Evacuate in 30 Minutes

But I still have time to take a few pictures to share -

I plan to stay and watch the fight - put the SRT6 in my brick garage -

I'll ride the KLX650 out if needed - I live on a dead end street and road is packed...

You can always tell when its summer in SoCal, things start burning.

Hope everything turns out alright, and hopefully your brick garage has a steel roof

Hope everything is going to be alright. On a lighter note those pictures are too cool. Now get out of there!

Re: Ordered to Evacuate in 30 Minutes

Well according to the news, no homes were damaged and the fires were contained. 3 fires in one day... exciting stuff

Based on the foliage, I'd guess this was Camarillo

you okay brian?

Re: Ordered to Evacuate in 30 Minutes

Crazy evening but everything turned out OK. The winds were calm and that allowed the air crews to really attack the fires. Not sure how they started - but there are still a few property owners near me that have not cleared the brush yet. I'm sure they will be busy this weekend.

Still very warm/dry conditions this morning - hopefully we will retun to an onshore breeze..

Thanks everybody... but it's all part of the four seasons when you live in So. Cal.

Fire, Flood, Earthquake and Riots.....

And people think living thru a balmy Michigan winter with a 120" of snow is a problem. I'll take it any time over the 4 seasons you mentioned. Glad all were safe.
