I can see this out my front door. Massive cloud of smoke, and the air has a very heavy scent at the moment, and there is light ash currently coming down, with fire trucks heard in the distance.

Time to flee.

Burn, baby, burn!

Damn I need to start drinking, I read that as Bush fire.


Chakat I hope you and everyone in your neighborhood are ok.

so how long do you think it'll be until all those white people start rioting and looting?

Weaver95

You silly, the government will take care of them, they're white!

Dugaid

It's far enough away that it probably won't be a threat, but at the same time, does make me a bit nervous. I'll try to get some pictures, soon as I can find some batteries for my camera.

Take that, mischa barton!

300 acres? thats barely a southern california barbecue!

Too bad the president doesn't live in Orange County. He'd have already cleared that brush and prevented a disaster.

I blame Bush and Hitler.

I also had read that as Bush fire. First thing I thought was, oh god, what has that man done now...?

/i hate brush fires
//had to be evacuated because of them twice now.

That headline was not funny at all. Boo Hiss.

Good timing. It's about time Orange County lived up to it's name a bit.

...How is a brush fire threatening in a rich suburb full of swimming pools?

...How is a brush fire threatening in a rich suburb full of swimming pools?

I dunno, but let's wait and watch for the rioting and looting.

You're doin' a heckuva job, Brownie.

/What.

Why should we care about these people? They chose to live in a known dangerous area. I say they deserve it.

/Them, and New Orleans

Burn it all.

Aww looks like it's time for the:

Thought it said Bush fire. Very disappointed.

Chakat: I can see this out my front door...

and I can see O.J. in the front seat... he be lookin' scared...

"so how long do you think it'll be until all those white people start rioting and looting?"

And what the hell are they gonna loot, charred pinecones, and riot inside a ring of fire?

And besides, how much woods do you Californians have to burn anyways? You do this forest fire thing every year, I'm gonna start calling it the Aunt Bunny Syndrome.

Lillian, the biatch is burning down the forest again!

My mom lives outside of Banning and there was a brush fire last year right by her house, she almost came to live with me. That being said, PUT OUT THAT DAMN FIRE!!! I don't need another scare like last year.

© and I feel sorry if your mom lives near this Orange County fire, she'll be calling soon asking you whats for supper.

Wonder if they know what started it?

With so many homeowners upside-down on their mortgages, I expect arson to be a favorite past-time in the OC in the next few years...

Johny Cash approves.

On another note, who knew you could buy bush fire resistant homes?

"As a result of this isolated fire, looting has broken out in mid-town Manhattan, the Bronx, and Las Angeles."

and I can see O.J. in the front seat... he be lookin' scared...

Tonight on Fox: Fast brushfires, slow moving Broncos.

I expect arson to be a favorite past-time in the OC in the next few years...

Don't call it that.

I blame Brush

I blame Brush shrub.

That would work better.

Hey you all in granola land. I haven't heard anything on my local news. One of you let us know if Florida sent you some smoke jumpers and whatnot :)

Good luck!

They think it was started by a vehicle fire. A rollercoaster site I go to says they're thinking of closing Disneyland because the fire's really close to the park.

Damn you, Cormee, I was going to inflict that on the posters.

This must be God's way of punishing California for housing so many sodomites!!!11!1!!!!

I blame shrub.

That would work better.

Maybe. If it had been a shub fire.

This must be God's way of punishing California for housing so many sodomites!!!11!1!!!!

If that's true, then everyone better get the hell out of D.C. before the next smiting.

Hopefully this means they stop airing Laguna Beach.

I'm about 10 miles south of the fire in the same hills. Nasty smoke.

I blame Gob.

Big deal... this is normal and hardly news worthy outside of the local area. It's sort of like when hurricanes hit Florida... well, duh! It's hurricane-prone territory. Worse, people voluntarily build homes on the beaches and then whine about insurance rates and cost of cleanup. ZERO sympathy for hurricane or fire victims in areas very prone to either. Same for tornadoes. We live with the risk in the midwest. Shiat happens no matter where you choose to live, but increasing your odds of disaster and then expecting the rest of us to care is just plain stupidity.

my old neighborhood.

I just moved out of it like a year ago....

My friends are evacuating now. It's not going well.

char_boy: God is working in mysterious ways right now. Question him, not.

Bizarre Records

I am a fan of your website, and am relieved to see your blessed record collection is in Texas and nowhere near this conflaguration!!!

/off to my basement to listen to 78's

NobertJoe: My friends are evacuating now. It's not going well.

Ipod makes it better. Nothing like a little Andrea Bocelli to provide a soothing soundtrack when you are fleeing for your life.

//word

//watch out for Fema.

bastian_74: On another note, who knew you could buy bush fire resistant homes?

Are those sprinklers? Good idea. Probably saves you a ton on your insurance.

Weird, I can see the smoke from my front yard.

I pray that all the Mercedes Benzs make it out safely.

Wow...I never thought I'd see something thats going on so close to me show up on a fark link.

I hope this thing doesn't go out of control. Tons of homes over there. What sucks too is that it's freaking hot outside, and windy.


/Lives in Yorba Linda, a little bit north from Anahiem Hills.
/Can see the giant brown smoke cloud from her back yard.

It was started by a stolen car on a tollroad... and it's pretty much out in the uninhabited hills, though a couple of houses have been damaged.

It was nice and orange for a while here, but now it's all just stinky and ashes raining down.

I'm about five miles due west of the fire.
