as much as i dont like my city, my state in general... i am heart broken. four years almost to the day there were the worst fires in american history here in southern california.. devastating doesnt begin to describe the effect of said fires. back then it got pretty close to my house.. but not close enough to panic. i helped those i know, and even the san diego wild animal park evacuate, heal, anything else needed. now.. as of yesterday... the fires of four years ago have been surpassed.. these are the worst there have ever been. they dont expect much to make it.. including the area i live in. never have fires come so close to the coast, where i live.. and if it keeps up the way its going, which agian, they expect it to, due to the winds, itll travel farther west til it hits the pacific coast.. taking with it everything in its path. by the time it got to that point, thered be nowhere for us to go.. wed be trapped by the fires north, south and east of us. thats worst case scenerio, of course... but.. its looking more and more like itll be reality within the next couple of days.

if you know anyone who lives in this area.. contact them. first by email, second by land lind, third by cell. the emergency workers/authorities have asked us to stay off cellphones unless they are absolutely needed, cause the airwaves are getting jammed. make sure anyone you love and/or care about are safe. please. they may need help. at the immediate time my family and i are safe, we have food and water, and for now electricity.. not sure how long that last one will last though. ill check this when i can, but there may be a time when i have no power, and beyond that, may need to get the fuck out of here. where? i dont know. we dont really have anywhere to go. nowehre safe, atleast. theres a gasoline shortage, the roads are jammed, and fires surrounding the area. it sounds like a joke, but i am serious when i say keep an eye on the news.. if you hear about a girl stealing a large yaught in the bay and taking her family, her boyfriend and pets.. and comic books.. well.. you guys will know who it is. the waters the only safe place. makes sense to me. oh... and if you arent hearing san diego in the national news.. thats because they are talking about witch creek, ramona, julian, and a few others COUNTIES of san diego.. im not sure why the news does that... but it was a big deal four years ago, why they wouldnt just call it san diego.. maybe they are now.. dont have a tv to watch right now. anyways.... just check on those you love.. ive already tried getting in contact with ~jfujita, as i know he lives in the irvine area, which is too on fire.. but havent heard form him yet. i hope justins okay. i really really do. and any of you reading this that may be affected by the fires... be safe, REALLY REALLY safe. and good luck. i think we are going to need as much luck as we can get at this point.
