North San Diego is on Fire!
 

Literally, on fire.



Prayers for all san diego Planet members, family, friends, etc.

I have a pretty large fire just over the mountain from me, hoping winds die down.

We've literally had 5-7 large wildfires pop up today alone and quite a few people have lost everything.


This is a good reminder - if the zombie apocalypse (or anything apocalyptic in nature) were to occur, the roads and highways will get you nowhere.

Time to buy that personal jetpack!

Must be why it's so ****ing hot out here today.....

Hopefully it spreads to Qualcomm.

Buck is going to be pissed when this interrupts his Dayz marathon.

104 in Escondido!

Oh SoCal....selfies in front of a devastating fire. Okay.

I feel your pain. I work in Santee.

It was way worse back when the shop was a metal building. It was a ****ing oven in there....good god that was horrible.

I'll remember that next time the a midwest town gets wiped out with Tornadoes.

This sh*t is supposed to happen in October not in May. Scary.

Lighten up, Francis. Don't get your panties all bunched up. That could cause friction and start another fire.

Seriously though, sorry for my poor attempt at humor. I hope nobody is physically harmed by these fires. Homes and possessions can be replaced, but people can't. Stay safe.

Camp Pendleton has had over 1,000 acres burn today.

I'm in no danger, but over 15,000 houses have been evacuated so far.

Fire in Lakeside now

good

This is pretty much an annual event isn't it?
I remember going to a Padres game years ago and there was a huge fire in the hills beyond the outfield. Planes were flying by dropping whatever they drop on fires. It was kinda cool.

This. Christ. It could happen really easily here too. The wheat is about a week from being d-e-a-d dead and I've got a lot of places I can't get corn up. This place is close to be a tinder box.

Prayers to all affected.

My Aunt lives in Santee. I'll be going there at the end of July, early August for a family reunion...if my Aunt's house doesn't burn down. I'm supposed to sleep in one of her bedrooms.

We are turning into West Texas.

The Firefighters have been doing an amazing job keeping this from becoming a total disaster.

Did you catch any of that big rain that went through Dodge?

2003 and 2007 were the last times we had a fire of this magnitude and I don't quite think that this is on that level yet, except there are 8 separate wildfires right now which is more fires than usual. In square mileage affected, it's not as big yet.

Scary thing is that Fire season isn't usually until September, but we had a major drought this winter so we could be looking at a 5-6 month fire season.

Here was the reading in my car today. It's been an awful, hot, dry year.

**** no.


We got the 50 mph winds, though.

Saturday before last I planted corn. That day I chiseled it. FML.

hey uh so uh you wouldn't need someone to come down to your property and tag a monster ks spring gobbler before the season ends or bow a trophy buck in the fall would you?

Man this one is intense. Tomorrow is going to be hotter and windier than today.

Good luck you guys. That shit is ****ing scary.

Total destruction ****ing sucks.

Do they have any idea what is starting the fires? I realize it's drier than a popcorn fart, but there has to be an ignition source.

You guys can't catch a break again this year. Ive been going nuts trying to get my customers weeds sprayed but damn rain or wind or wind and rain have me so far behind Ill never catch up. Now they are calling for possible frost Friday at daybreak.

Hang in there, one of these storm fronts has to hit Scott.

The word Arson has been thrown around.

It's so dry here a fire starts if someone farts.

Oh crap, sorry about that.

This picture was taken looking over the parking lot at Stone Brewery in Escondido.

I was evacuated today.
Second time being evacuated in 6 years.
Time to move.

Experts say that El Nino is on the way.

Good news is that usually means lots of rain for California (Mid west too but don't hold me to that.)

Bad news is that the warmer ocean temps equal warmer land temps. Could be a hot summer.

The beginning was the 45 inches of snow in Mammoth (ski resort) the week before my Spring Break trip the last week of March. I was on the mountain 7 days in a row. I think it is coming.

The last El Nino in 97? I snowboarded on the 4th of July at Squaw in shorts and a T Shirt.

Glad to hear it, Buck. Keep us posted.

Heard this will be the hottest year.

I wasn't thinking that these fires were intentionally set, but I was wondering if they were being blamed on stupid smokers throwing their cigarettes out of their car windows. There are few things that piss me off more than seeing someone throw a cigarette butt out their car window. My neighbor has an eighteen year old son who liked to walk along the sidewalk smoking his cigarettes and then throw the butts in people's yards. After picking his cigarette butts out of my yard on Saturday, I decided to teach him a lesson. I had some friends over for a barbeque that evening and after they left I collected all the beer cans and put them all on the top of his car. I think the message got through because I haven't had any cigarette butts in my yard since.

FBI is investigating. According to my boss anyways.
