Default Fire!

So anyone close to the fire in OC? I got freaking evactuated and they almost didnt let me take the SS!!!!! Me and my dad had to go on like a rescue mission get get the Camaro and the Vette outa the house. They werent letting anyone take their cars out and provided a shuttle.
We got pulled over once we were down our hill, but there wasnt much they could do as we were already out of the neighborhood. I would hate to lose the rides...


so anyone else close to the fire?

Saw yours from Corona. Then there was the one near me over off Cajalco and the 15. Started up around when yours was being put down. Coming back from Chino Hills about 4, lot of your smoke was clearing out, and mine was burning black. Coming south on the 71, the kids thought its was same fire as yours, till I pointed out that it was coming from the direction near our neighborhood. They got real quiet then.... Still burning now!

I would have stole your dumbass neighbor's TV. Sounds like a drama queen to me. His meds are either OTC and/or not even a controlled substance. He could have went down the street to the pharmacy and picked them up.
