Default ANOTHER SFV fire!!

It is pretty damned bad, might have to go get my GF's grandmother. It just jumped the freeway at olive view hospital / 210 freewy. They just evaced the hospital as well. If you are in the area or know anyone in the are contact them and make them awake of the situation as they might be sleeping.

Hey Sanch, how you holding up? Did you have to get your gf's g'ma? I'm only a few miles from the Yorba Linda fire and it's 0% contained. I was evacuated last year for the santiago fire, and I'm getting mighty tired of this ****! As it stands, we're safe, but we have friends from Yorba Linda coming to over to crash.

My GF ended up having to go at 630 this morning to help pack a few things cause they did a general suggestion of evac, non-manditory, for her area and ended up pulling it when they were ready to go cause the winds died down and the the fire changed direction. I did stay up til 4am watching the news though, because the sheriff's office was sooooo understaffed for the situation they were unable to go door-to-door for evac orders. I'm cool now though.

Allblacksrt4's got hit again, they were up til 5am watching the fire in the hills right behind their house. One of their friends lost their house to the fire in the early morning.
