I hope that our friends here from California are safe and not being affected by the fires.

For those who don't know, there are over a thousand fires burning all over the state... I think I heard something like 1,700. sad

Anyone here affected... will you be needing to evacuate? Is the smoke affecting you even if you aren't close to the actual fires?

I have a friend in California who woke up to smoke in here area. I havent heard from her since so im assuming she was evacuated. Im sure shes okay but I just wish I could reach her.

Yes, that's terrible when we know that a friend or relative probably had to leave an area and then there's no way to find anything out. cry Maybe your friend will contact you soon if she knows you're concerned.

I once had a coworker that lived right in the middle of where the Cedar fires were burning in 2003. We were all trying to call her as she hadn't shown up for work in a few days. It turns out that she and her house were OK, but she couldn't leave the area for some reason. Also, the phone lines and the cell phone towers in that area had burned down, so she couldn't use the phone.

As we get shorter in water the fires will get greater.

We keep on knocking down the rain Forrest and the native bush, then nature will take revenge like she always does to remind us.

But being stupid we cant see the warnings till its to late.

That seems to be true with a lot of things in life, actually, doesn't it? It gets to a "no return" point and then it's like "DUH, why didn't we see that coming?" sad

Hi Katiedoubleu! Thanks for your concern about the people here, it is appreciated! So far, there are no fires that I know of in my area. I think there was one over on Camp Pendleton, but they got that one out. It's a gorgeous day here, too! But, we have a lot of boneheads here that like to set off their own fireworks. I remember last year during the official fireworks, people were setting their own off right in the middle of the dry brush with dried out palm trees all around. They just think that nothing's going to happen to them.

Hi Darlene... I'm glad you checked in! With that "desert" in your name I thought it didn't sound like a good place to be with all those fires. sad Fireworks would certainly not be a good idea in that area for sure!

I hope everything is okay with californians, or any other bush fire people, just as Canada's B.C. It must be very scary as the fires approach the homes, I can only imagine.
