Reply #22: I can imagine

having lived through the Missionary Ridge and Valley fires in June 2002. I drove around with the stuff I'd packed in my car for two months, for fear of another fire starting near my home. I ran outside all last summer and still get nervous when I hear a helicopter or a low-flying plane. It was like the apocalypse, and I know the fires in southern California are a hundred times worse. I'm sending psychic fire-extinguishing vibes and good thoughts in your direction.

I just heard Chimpy say, "It's a dangerous fire." What a dork.
