I've been very impressed with the abilities of the firemen (and women)... There's been relatively low loss of structures in Santa Clarita... I think the local tally is 25 homes- most over in Canyon Country last night. There were a lot MORE homes at risk this morning & all were protected. The Stevenson Ranch fire DEFINITELY popped up in a hurry today... we were all sent home from work early. The worst thing was not having access to information & not knowing what was going on. The rumor-mill was in high gear today. Almost left work at lunch when I heard the evacuation was getting closer to my house... was worried that I might not be able to get home. But, I can see the Incident Command Center on the other side of the canyon from me, so figured as long as they're still there, I'd be ok. My neighbors on both sides were home as well, so figured they'd let me know of impending doom.
Can't tell ya how many offers I had today to drive the Cobra to safety.

My daughter has already headed down there with the rest of the Governor's staff to assist in coordination. One of the pics she sent me this afternoon provides the big picture... 
A couple of folks we know around here (Bill Malone and XLR80R) were evacuated earlier today. Wish them luck along with the other 300,000 or so folks who have been pulled out already.

Well so far I have seen a few of the places where I used to work that have gone up in flames. Those Sanana Ana Winds can be brutal even without any fire as they do get hot. And they seem to blow all the time. We have really been fortunate up here as we face the same type of stuff, tons of dead fuel, canyon winds and it has been about 7 years since the last big fire here. Hope they get a break today in the wind. And good luck to you who live there. I hope that your homes escape the fire. The last big ojne here got to within three blocks of my little house and I live in the middle of the city. It burned on both sides of the city before they got it stopped and then wiped out a town farther upo in the mountains.

Are there a bunch of fires down around San Diego as well? I saw 2 east of San Diego, and it said they merged to 1 larger fire. I am asking mainly because in a couple of weeks I am flying to San Diego and then driving out to Calexico.
I haven't been out there since I moved from San Diego over 7 years ago, and I haven't been keeping up with the fires. Now this trip for work and I wish I had kept up with what is going on.

Has anyone thought about the insurance ramifications from this?
Kudzu? keep that stuff there! I watched, is disbelief, Alton Brown eat that stuff. Personally I think that is an alien plant bent on the destruction of mankind.

You can make a grape like jelly from the blossoms. What? You did not know it had blossoms? Beautiful, purple, grape-smelling blossoms...like Wisteria, in fact, I believe they are related....
Sorry about the detour...back to work... Friends of mine in San Diego said they could see the flames from their home...prolly gonna bail. So sad.

Mike, I had no idea.

Now if we can only refine this for fuel, we could solve the entire world's problems.
back to the thread....
it is getting worse, this will have such a huge fiscal impact. Last night's news had already started comparisons of gov't responses between the uses of Qualcomm and the superdome. Dangerous statements.
quick google search.
