6. I'm in Santa Monica and right now there's a huge plume

of smoke just to the west that wasn't there before. It's filling the sky and making the sun absolutely dark orange right now.

Very very strange out there .....

I suspect this might be a new fire in Malibu??

11. No, don't say that

I hope it's not true. I'm keeping my eyes on you guys down there where I used to live. I keep checking the websites but don't see any updates. I'm so sorry you southern cals are dealing with this. Who set those fires is what we want to know. I checked the web cam this morning and it was only a little hazy, now it's not sunny at all!!http://www.postcarbon.org/

7. Dear God!

Thats....... mind-boggling! Please, don't take ANY chances--- leave as soon as they tell you to; nothing you own is worth your life--nothing. :hug:

[Champion Jack]

8. That's the plan

Starting to make that list right now

9. Scary!

I'm still trying to contact my friend in West Hills/Box Canyon. She had to evacuate this AM with her two dogs and her cat.

Good luck to you - I'm worried about all of you down there.

10. Has there been any Federal help or aid from firefighters in other states?

This is really bad.
