Nope, but I've seen it on the news tho. Which sucks...
But over here and I think anywhere, we get those ashes floating around. Luckily I didn't wash my car last week.

I go to school in Ontario, and everyday I could see the flames go higher on the mountain, in the 4 hours I'm in school, my car gets covered big time with ashes. Time for Mobil car wash. Smells like X-mas though, that's nice, but sure is hot. Hope their's no more evacuations, I feel bad for people getting kicked out at 6-7 in the morning and no time to grab they're stuff. Anyone been getting more boogers than usual? lol I do

yeah flames are all around us...

sucks for those that gotta evac.

and those that have their homes burned down.

around san bernadio area... like 50 homes burned down... damn.

and yeah ashes... sky is covered... blah.

sucks for those that have their home in danger.. but they dont want to leave.. and hosing down their house wont really help with fire like this.

I hope everyone has insurance.

Just drove to Fonatana and back, going on the 60 right when I get on, where the 57 is atm it begins to get darker, then getting on the 15 it clears up again, but all in between is ashes and smoke, smells nice but hard to breathe and very dry.

I saw it on tuesday when it first started... i thought it was some sort of building that blew because of how big around it was getting... then later tuesday my girl and i went to sams and we could see a more clear view and I stood corrected... wildfire alright... and it's been pretty crazy ever since, I could see the flames at night from here (rancho cucamonga) the blaze is about 1/2 mile north. We went as far as we could towards the mountain "Haven Estates" and we could see homes on fire... YIKES! I felt bad and wanted to help but no luck. My lungs feel like giving out... oh man I need some clean air...
