Just another fire in California
Nov. 13th, 2008 10:09 pmMy fucking town is on fire. Dudes. This is such a big reason I can't stay in California long term; it's just way too dry here.
Anyway, it is a brush fire that got hugely out of control due to the high winds. Lots of homes lost, but largely mansions at this point. My friends in the working class neighborhoods are under mandatory evacuation orders.
At least twice a year, you guys, there are major fires here.
This is the first one within city limits, though. So sad to see the homes on fire.
The moon is full and blood red. The wind is hot. We lost power city wide for about an hour and it was apocalyptic how all of us were milling about the street watching the fire on the hillside spread without challenge.
The helicopters have arrived, though. And the moon is full so they have light to do night drops.
I hope Ed's house doesn't burn.
