My parents live in Phelan, so far they are good. said the smoke is so bad you cant see more then a mile.

Last weekend i finished putting the motor back in the car while up in phelan (doing it in a 1 car garage at my house would have been a nightmare). Although the car is sentimental to me due to it being my grandpas, my parents house and my childhood home seems to rank higher.

Im hoping they get it under control soon, but from 0-30,000 acres in less then 18 hours. That is insane.

My high school friend lives up in Oak Hills, and he said when he left the flames were 300 yards away from his house. He told me pulling the motor from his 911 wasnt a good idea. So he had to leave it.

30,000 acres thus far and just saw that it's 0% contained! That is scary!

Yes my comment regarding keeping 914s safe was meant to be light hearted, obviously keep friends and family safe first and foremost! Even homes can be rebuilt/replaced.

82,000+ evacuated. But everyone is good and out of harms way.
Although the same can't be said about wrightwood. I'm hoping it stays out of there. They call it the bonfire pit. Once it's in there everything is gone.

I want a 6, i know. I was going along with it saying I got mine out well ahead of time.

Okay Slits, just cuz you cant be there doesn't mean you have to set the whole mountain on fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

My niece used to be an EMT in L.A. - I remember the photos she showed us & near death experiences she told us about, going in & out of fire zones - what a horrible thing to have to deal with, annually! - especially after having heard of some of them being arson!

Hope everyone is safe & ok!
