There's a fire in Irvine about a mile or two away. I had to drive to Gardena earlier for dinner...the drive on the 405 was just a pink haze at dusk. I was also on the 5 in Tustin earlier and I could see the licks of fire on the mountainside.

My apt. in Irvine just stinks of smoke and the crazy winds are just blowing ash and dust like crazy. Hope some of you people don't have crazy allergies.



Never seen it this bad. REPENT PEOPLE...puahahaha.

 

just saw the pics of the irvine fire on the news.

have a couple friends in irvine as well on volutary evac right now. conditions supposed to worsen tomorrow till friday...

 

yeah today is crazy, fire & windy like crazy everywhere. SD, malibu, irvine... i know there are others.

 

hope ur ok! thats crazy stuff!!!

 

Just saw 60 minutes where they were talking about how out of control the fires in the west have been the last 10 years.

 

Yep, I'm in Foothill Ranch at the border of the El Toro MCB (former). Been watching the warm, orange glow over the hill for much of the evening.


It's bad, but I don't think it's as bad as it was back in the 90's when Malibu, Orange/Anaheim Hills, and Laguna Hills/Beach were on fire. That sucked.

 

I'm off Chapman/Jamboree and I can see everything from my neighborhood..it's just frightening how fast the fire is moving...

 

GG here and I saw the black cloud coming towards us. It was wicked red right before sunset.

 

Man, I'm in the Sorrento Valley area of S.D. and the wind, smoke and ash from the Ramona area fire is just crazy here; it looks like it's snowing outside. I can't even imagine how it must be for people much closer. Hope hey get this under control soon and these winds die down.

 

Just stepped out to take some pics. This is Portola Pkwy between Jeffrey & Sand Canyon. The wind at times were gusting to 60-70mph and with crap flying around I didn't want to be out for too long. It looked like the fire was moving 50ft/min.

3 years since I moved out here and I'm still not use to wildfires.

 

Freakin ashes all over my Z, moved my Z to a safer place at my bros. I live right on 5 and Jeffrey.

 

So much fire everywhere.

 

no wonder it smells like smoke outside =[
my z is gonna be so dirty tomorrow

 

wow those pix are nuts. hope everyone is OK!

 

Anyone know if Calabasas High School is closed tomarrow or not?

 

i went through the ones in LA beginning of summer .. guys stay prepared.. one of scariest experiences of my life.. if they say "be ready" .. be ****in ready.. dont think that its a joke... we got evaculated.. ppl on our hill waited til last minute and all they could grab was their cat.. thank god nothing reached the houses but still was 1 block away from first house.... hopefully everyone on here is safe

 

Get that Z outta the ash dood ! Dang I thought I was close to it, you Irvine guys must be trippin out. The fires spread sooo quickly with this wind.

 

Good show. I spent most of the night calming my GF down. Pretty scary at first.

Hope everything goes well for the firefighters. That's some risky business.

 

At least my classes are canceled for tomorrow. More time to finish my English paper and study for tests

 

Man i was here in Newport at Fashion Island and we all watched as the sky turned BLACK and covered the beach area in ash. It was like a scene out of an apocolypse movie. It was INSANE, and im typing now and I can still smell smoke and see ash falling through my window. THank God the Z was in a parking garage and is in my garage now. but this is INSANE so many fires!!!
