Wind gust in SR just a few minutes ago, homes are now in danger, fires ripping through a neighborhood and people are leaving. This is too quick.

Moon, we're up in Lancaster/Palmdale, so about 30 minutes from Weiner...they're just over the mountains from us.

Sage Crest Circle and Hollyhock court, great deal of smoke. This is the area of SR under concern right now. No homes on fire yet. 30-40 ft high flames behind homes...gust of wind right now.

War, make sure to keep your windows close and I wear a bandana (wet it to breath threw) not very fashionable but my chest and lungs feel awful and it helps.

Homes aren't on fire but they are threatened. I guess a wind gust came and blew the flames right back towards the homes. FF are out working to try to keep the flames at bay. FF's are concerned, if people can get out of there, they are recommending they do.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!! Wish I were somewhere closer to help people out. I feel so helpless. I have been reading this thread all the time, every day. My thoughts are with all the CA people. I am so sorry you all have to go through this stress. ((hugs))

I am a bit nervous with the latest reports around Stevenson Ranch. Is Saugus in trouble? Canyon Country and Santa Clarita? My relatives all live in that area.

I-5 closed from the 14 to the 126 in both directions. alternate route San Fernando Road or try coming around the back around the coast side. spot fire on Calgrove.

Tagurit, no problem in Saugus, CC that I know of. Santa Clarita threatened.

She went to school today with a note, Lum, that she's not allowed to play outside (I don't think they'll send the kids out though) to be on the safe side. She's been sick the last few days anyways, this is just making her breathing more wheezy.

I-5 is closed from the 14 to shoot! I missed it.

Thanks Abby! The news is driving me nuts, they're switching between the fires to politics to Scott Peterson to the fires, so just as I stop listening, they start talking again.

Does anyone know how to get breaking news from Colorado? Karuuna just said her subdivision was on fire, and had to get offline!!!!

Moon, I have windows and doors closed, and put towels and shirts at the bottoms to stop any leaks, but since it's been warm up here, we still haven't closed up our swamp cooler for winter. So, I have it coming from there.

Resortgirl: I'll check some other channels, and let you know (but I doubt I'll find anything on Colorado).

OMG! I'm in Colorado. Kar lives about a half hour north of me.

Turned on the New. Talking about fires, but I just cut into it. TV in another room. I'll be back later to report.
