Seminal Inhalation Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So as most of you may know, South California is just about all compromised due to wild fires. It started on Tuesday morning as a small brush fire, and immediately escalated into a wildfire scorching all of South California. The reason it is so bad is due to the heat, Santa Ana winds, and low humidity. We usually don't get fires until September, so our fire dept. was caught off guard. All the cities near Fallbrook, San Diego, Carlsbad have all been evacuated to avoid the flames with Carlsbad and San Marcos getting torched in the process. So far, nearly half a million people have been evacuated to the North and Northeast with the fires chasing them. There are currently 9 separate fires with 50 foot flames being blown in different directions by the Santa Ana winds which makes fighting the fires difficult. The winds keep making the fire change course making it hard to contain it. They just managed to save a Military base and got 22 helicopters and 5 bombers up in the air to help with the cause, but aren't helping much. The San Marcos fire split up into 2 fires and has made a literal ring of fire from San Marcos to Lake Wulford to San Diego, and now towards Valley Center, leaving thousands of people *including me* unable to evacuate. Here's a few videos and pics. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4weo9mjok6kmze/20140515_143145.mp4 https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5zp19oarbaboap/20140514_184420.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7zsjdqqr9z21qw/Screenshot_2014-05-14-23-54-07.png We have not received an evacuation order, but a few neighbors are leaving. Where are they going to go? .-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spu~ Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Your neighbors are probably trying to get to the center of the "ring" hoping the fire will take longer to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liddojunior Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Fires are good and natural for our state's environment. Unless you live on a mountain side, you're pretty much safe. I think you should already be used to having fires around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should already be used to having fires around, hell I've seen them from where I live since some have been very close, never worried about it We never get fires until September Or October. This is way early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
