Archive through October 28, 2003
Pamy | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:16 pm     We are fine so far, fires still far away. We just have lots of smoke and soot in the air, hard to breathe and my eyes are burning so bad I couldnt wear contacts or makeup to wk today. |
Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:17 pm     Thanks Sun!!! Pamy, how are you doing??? I wanted to post some of the pix... I am challenged with Cowboy's camera so I will post better ones later...
This was the fire coming down our hill close to the house along with this burning bush

Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:17 pm     SR: per CBS, west of 5 fwy/Big Moor Canyon (sp) just south of Pyco Canyon Road, east slope. thick vegetation flames went through quickly. fire trying to make itself eastwood, but fortunately wind mild. strike teams making sure fire doesn't back down hill. protecting against the hot ambers. "Apparently absent of winds, sort of gave firefighters a false sense of security" (again, not sure what this means....just a direct quote from the news). ff's burning away fuel with backfires right now. again, ff's ready to save structures. so, in comparison to the other fires SR is very safe (again relatively speaking, of course). ff's still think all homes will be ok in sr. |

Squaredsc | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:24 pm     oh wow moonie. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Angels come in all forms, don't they MsMoon? That burning bush looks almost Biblical.. |
Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:25 pm     The photos probably would be better but it was so hot! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:25 pm     Abby.. you have become the ULTIMATE live feed poster in this thread!! |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:25 pm     Moonie those pics are horrifing! I am glad you all are safe. Any word on Weiner, is his house in danger?? |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Pamy, Weiner and mrs are a few miles away with friends.. fire was a mile from his house when he left but there seems to be hope. |
Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:26 pm     That burning bush was part of the fire break that had burned the day before that saved the area when a hot spot popped up last night. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Channel 7: They saved Santa's Village (picturing elves in fire suits) |
Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:28 pm     The first pix is of the mountain the morning after the night it started... the brown is what burned during the night...SO close to some back yards of our neighbors!!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Moon.. that helicopter must have looked like a real angel.. |
Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Yeah Santa's Village |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Thx for update Sea. Moonie..you know we are here for you, if you need anything pls call me. xoxox |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Yeah, Seamonkey..not that I mind...just that I'm the worst ever! You are the live feed queen (BB). I don't know how you do it. If I were a real reporter, I would have been fired first hour! |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Hang in there Moon, Weiner and all the others who are anywhere near this!! Under the right conditions, the fronts of such fires can move at upwards of 70 mph. And as Moon has pointed out, the embers can be carried for miles by the winds, starting fires in places you'd never think could happen. My thoughts are with each and every one of you!! |
