A city in California has practically burn down.
Fires are destroying property! What's happening? Don't say global warming! Campers had to be rescued by helicopter over the weekend because fire broke out and surrounded them. |

South Oregon is doing really bad too. I was seeing cars left on the road, burned up.

When you live on the coast, surrounded by an ocean and a Bay,
you do not expect to have to evacuate due to forest fires miles away. Then my town started catching on fire, post office burned down, golf course set afire, hospital shut own and evacuated and suddenly we are put on alert to flee, and only one way to go and a 2-lane route south, toward more fires..to go it on. Then they have to turn off all power (imagine, by choice) because the heat was causing transformers to explode, so they preclude this by cutting off all power. So you are either sealed inside your house in 90* weather with no way of cooling or you crack a window and all the smoke pours in.. or you evacuate. They draw a line on the map and at a certain point they will force you to go, and if you go the wrong way, you will be arrested as a terrorist (a policeman told us this.) Anyway, we sheltered in place and the cutoff line is up the street. The air smells fresh, the wind has changed direction, the temperatures have dropped 20 degrees, looks good. Power back on..for now. They have not yet allowed evacuees back.

That is a Horrible situation for people to live through.

Sad fact is, many of the fires will be determined
to be caused by arson. |

Soufie, how are you? Aww thanks for inquiring..we are just fine for now, without power we had to run the car to hear the radio to see where we stood, a few blocks from the 'must flee' zone which has stayed firm so far. I hear evacuees have had a nightmare experience, the first batch were sent inland after reaching the Red Cross evacuation center in Newport and filled up every available space such that peeps have to keep moving, looking for shelter with limited resources. Horrible to think it was preventable. |

Referring to RockGnome's observation above: "Sad fact is, many of the fires will be determined to be caused by arson." Also if you read that url I posted above it says 'human caused' in the title. At this point in time they say that means downed power lines also. All preventable. |
