California (Wild) Fires News
Oct. 23rd, 2007 12:27 pmJust heard from my cousin Chris. She lives in "Metro LA" (she's moved a couple of times and I honestly don't have her physical address) and says she is ok but that it's real smoky. She has been unable to call a girlfriend of hers from Malibu since Sunday and thinks the girlfriend might be at an evacuation center. According to the (LA) local news, one of the (first?) fires was started by arson. She thinks they will all turn out to be arson. She says she doesn't remember fires like this before last year (this from someone born, raised & lived 99% of her life in LA); she believes it to be the work of terrorists. :::considers this::: I suppose that it is *possible*, since the fires are disrupting the whole of Southern CA and by extension, the entire state. We will see, I guess.
