Aditi Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Seems to be really bad situation and getting worse progressively. You Californites are all safe I hope. Is anyone close to the impacted area? Any immediate danger? I know Gator lives in San Diego area..you okay mate? How about the others? I live about 30-40 miles from a couple of the fires. Smell is terrible and air is unbreathable, soot and ashes all over everything. Google Maps has a live fire map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&msa=0&msid=117631292961056724014.00043d0e9ca465cefeeed&ll=35.960223,-117.443848&spn=4.827737,8.876953&z=7
Gaurav Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Is this going to impact the porn industry? Or is it based outside Cali?

It seems worse than I thought. Any idea if it is getting towards Orange County/Lake Forest area? I have a couple of friends but thus far they have all been acting macho :confused_smile: Be careful.

coffee_rules Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 That's 1000s of acres. Any idea how/if the eco-system gets back those forests or they are gone for good?
Lurker Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 That's 1000s of acres. Any idea how/if the eco-system gets back those forests or they are gone for good? I doubt there was much eco-system to start with CA. Most of the vegetation was dead trees and plants, ripe for fire. Of course once it started it could move to an area with live vegetation, more so with the hefty winds blowing. The irony is that the area where it started - Malibu - is so freaking close to sea. Gazillion gallons of water and still nothing can be done. Mother Nature :pray:
Aditi Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Adi.. are you at work ? your offices arent closed at times like this? Naah I work by the ocean...no threat here. Very much at work.
Aditi Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 That's 1000s of acres. Any idea how/if the eco-system gets back those forests or they are gone for good? We only got fifth of the normal amount of rainfall this year (not that we get much rainfall to begin with). That coupled with the record summer highs dried out all the vegetation making it perfect fuel for a fire. This time of the year is commonly known as "wildfire season", this year is like the season 4 years ago.
theguyinallblue Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 recently a US type tornado happened in a village of UP.... never thought i would see such things in India... was always satisfied with little swirls of dry leaves on the road during summer days...
