2) It's a wild fire. It's hard to predict where its going. Fire fighters apply strategy and dont want to just "Drop water anywhere". Efficiency...
3) THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GIVE US MORE SUPPORT!
My throat is SO DAMN DRY. 2-3 gallons of water per day doesnt do ****... i sound so raspy!

Bush made a statement today declaring this a major disaster, so Federal assistance is definitely on it's way.
but man, i have so many friends, ranging from Fontana and in UCSD who all say that the fire is like, 10 min away or something. UCSD is closed today and till wednesday, if not more days. i wish cal poly was closed! blah. but yeah, feel so bad. every single day the statistics double or triple. it went from the first day of 10,000 acres to an insane 80,000 acres and counting. (if i'm not mistaken, 1 acre equals 43,650 sq. ft! )
i was listening to 102.7 KIIS FM this morning with rick dees, and someone was talking on the show. and she mentioned that the FBI had previous information from communication interceptions from the Al-Quaeda network, that they planned to do something near this southern california area. and rick dees and the lady were talkin about how it is such a coincidence, that the three major fires all started at the same time and now it's way outta control. but i dont know about that theory. but when u look at that satellite picture alex showed us, u can easily see that the fires pattern is soo random and all over the place.
i hope this ends soon...

Rep Power: 0 I don't think that it Al-Quaeda I think some dumb *** kids got really bored and decided that they wanted to do something that will be remembered for a long time so they went all around and did this **** and thanks to it people are dead and homes are lost, if I could only get my hands on these FVckers I would kill them those bastards. The reason why I say this is because back in Riverside many years ago some dumb *** kid got a tele book lit it on fire and threw that **** into the dry grass and Lake hills almost went up, Almost

Rep Power: 0 I dont smoke, so this stuff is killing me. My eyes are burning, my nose is running, and have been coughing up phlegm all day cause of this. Sucks! It is way worse in Carlsbad now, have an orange gloom glow of smoke. I went to take a shower this morning and my tub looked like someone spilled pepper in it. I closed my windows for the rest of the day, didnt want to have to clean up a bigger mess. I really hope no one we all know looses a family member from this. Last I heard there were 11 deaths, hopefully that is it, even that is too many. If they tell me to evacuate, I am leaving, and leaving my civ, I got insurance, maybe then I can get another one but this time with a K20a swap. Nah, I am dreaming, I would not leave my civ to be burned. Good luck to all in So Cal!!!
Cedar fire is 206,000 acres as of a few hours ago. Paradise is 40k, and otay is 90% under control. cedar is only 60% under control. I'm a few miles away fmro it. The smoke and ashes are unbearable. Haven't need to be evacuated yet so I hope it stays this way. Packed up and got my vic on standby. Me n my gf are ready to git as soon as they give us the signal. Other than that, we'll bored at home, no school!

Rep Power: 0 It's pretty sad that people died because they thought they had enough time to pack up everything. Everybody is underestimating the ferocity of the fires!
