I'm just under the Hollywood sign, waving to you guys.

[L.A. Chieffan]

You see the direction where all that smoke is blowing? Yeah it sucks here.

[Reaper16]

Stunning stuff.

[TinyEvel]

OMG that last shot where the camera setup is shown...he is taking these like tow blocks form my office! That is Ballona Creek in the bottom of the scene (yes, embarrassing that we call a concrete lined waterway a "creek").

But those popcorn cumulus smoke cloud have been really weird to see hanging over L.a. for the past couple of days. Very weird. Like VIOLENT looking.

[RedDread]

Looks like a volcano erupting.

Im currently an EMT about to go into the Fire Academy, I couldnt imagine trying to contain a wild fire such as that one. Godbless those men.

Structure or wildland fire academy?

[vailpass]

Cool photograpy. Nasty air quality. The brown cloud here in Phoenix is bad but raging wildfires always add that something special.

[Rain Man]

Eh, it's all CGI. You can't fool us.



In other news, we're having some cool days here in Denver that are apparently the result of smoke drifting in.

[Molitoth]

That's really sad. =/

[kaplin42]

That's really sad. =/

Yup. But just another August/September here in beautiful, sunny, Southern California. :rolleyes:

[underEJ]

MMM... car covered with ash this morning. It's the worst morning yet for breathing.

[seclark]

that smoke is just DaneMcCloud having a wienie roast.

[keg in kc]

Looks like a volcano erupting.That's what I was thinking.

[Hammock Parties]

Pass another blunt.

Weinie roast? You ****ing plebe. We don't 'roast' in hollywood, we saute. Not that a hayseed like you would know what that is. Why just yesterday Tom Cruise was over at my place collecting anal scrapings so I could attain the
5th level when suddenly he commanded me to fill my brazier with rolled up pages of Variety so we could saute the balls of a dead best boy grip. Do you even know what that is hillbilly?
Tom then tore my balls off and added them to the mix. God I respect him. And the most beautiful part is that Tom is the only one who can heal me. You don't even know what I'm talking about, do you? ****ing hick./Dane

[Otter]

That's time lapsed photography of DaneMcCloud lighting a fart.

I take it Casa McCloud isn't in too much danger?

[seclark]

You ****ing plebe.
LMAO

At this point no, but thanks for asking.

There was ash all over the cars this morning and the air is thick with smoke.

I've heard that this is a once in 60 years fire and I just hope we don't lose anymore firefighters.

Not bad!

:p

[HemiEd]

Yup. But just another August/September here in beautiful, sunny, Southern California. :rolleyes:

Yeah, it is a pretty regular occurance. Was out there on business recently, and my rental car was covered with soot, when I came out in the morning.

I think it would get old, but not as old as all this snow.

[ClevelandBronco]

Holy crap. Stay safe, Dane.

[DaneMcCloud]

Holy crap. Stay safe, Dane.

Thanks, Brother!

what areas are under that volcano cloud?

[Delano]

what areas are under that volcano cloud?

It's moving northeast, towards Palmdale and west of Barstow.

[L.A. Chieffan]

what areas are under that volcano cloud?

my fucking house

[vailpass]

Not bad!

:p

Eh I still have a ways to go to capture your subtle nuances.:) Glad that you are a big boy who can take a joke. Of course you are used to friar's club treatments so my little schtick is like a tickle on the ass.

Looks like all that water is only a few feet away. Why can't they splash some of that water on those fires?

salt water is just as bad for the plant/animal life as the fire is

[Demonpenz]

if a wild fire is heading to your house is it ok to back up my copy my dvd's?

[DaFace]

I wish you crazy Californians would put those damn fires out. It's making it all smoky here. :p

[Reerun_KC]

I think we are seeing some of the smoke here in OKlahoma from that fire

[Iowanian]

Oh great. Look at all of that carbon based pollution.


California just killed the Polar bears. I hope you're happy, DAAAAAAAAAAAANE McfireCLOOOOOOOOOOOD!


The good news, Iowa and Missouri will soon have some awesome red sunsets thanks to your fires.

Hadn't thought about that, I'll have to start watching. :eek:

On a serious note, All you guys take care out there :thumb:

[DaFace]

Here's a pic of Denver's sunset last night that was in the local news today.

[ChiefJustice]

I'll bet these fires are somehow related to Lindsey Lohans' panties being stolen in that recent break-in.

The timing shouldn't be ignored.

We are truly behind enemy lines. Not only is it "Bronco's Country," it appears that it's "Bronco's Sky" as well.

[Reerun_KC]

So how much is this going to effect Global Warming?

exactly they have their hands full

[chefsos]

Not to worry. I increased the pressure in my tires today by >2lb. That'll balance it right out.

[ilovemichaelsettle]

dude that looks like a volcano, its cool, but sad at the same time...

[KCrockaholic]

This.

[listopencil]

Glad I live in NorCal instead of SoCal right now, I guess. Would rather live in No Cal At All.

[DaneMcCloud]

This.


Fuck YOU.

You're fucking childish piece of shit. There are men and women putting their lives on the line and two have died.

Grow up, you fucking little piece of shit.

[007]

That is amazing stuff Dane. Frightening as well.
