OK, so half my city burns to the ground...

[Initech]

And while flipping through the channels last night, what was the commercial headline report on the local Faux affiliate?

Dogs on skateboards.

I shit you not.

Did any of my other fellow So-Cal DUers happen to catch this?

1. It's because "everybody knows" Southern Californians

are godless heathens and are only suffering GAWD's retribution for all them HO-MI-SEX-ALS! :evilgrin:

Seriously though, as a native Southern Californian, I can't believe what you guys are going through. Again! First Santa Barbara, then Sylmar, then Yorba Linda then Corona. I don't think most people realize that these locations really are nowhere near each other.

Keep safe, So Cal!

3. I thought those were our Pubbie regions...

And the fires were on all the Yes on H8 peeps!

[Initech]

4. Certainly true.

I have lived here my entire life and have never seen anything quite like this.

But seriously when I saw that on the news last night I had a huge :wtf: look on my face. If there was any way I could find a clip of it on Youtube I'd post it here.

5. What sizzles me is zero coverage up here in Northern Cal.

I sure do miss KTLA. The fire in Sylmar seemed especially horrid with that fire marching down the hill. Or so I read in Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle. I had to drive all over just to find a newspaper.

6. Camp Pendleton has had something like 9000 acres burn in the past month

That just sounds crazy to me.

2. Obama's ideas of the fire are making this city melt and burn down

:) Its true...just ask Rush

[Incitatus]

7. local news

just as bad as national news

8. Former San Pedro Resident here

I lived there during the heavy rains and the flooding of the Sepulveda flood basin over the 405 and the King Riots.

This is way more serious, and should get a hell of a lot more coverage nationally.

[kestrel91316]

11. Hey, now, the Sepulveda Basin never actually flooded over the 405.

It flooded Woodley and Burbank. But wasn't that week of rain that year a sight to behold????

I'm still here. This is going to be a "summer" winter, I think, rather than a more traditionoal "rain" winter.

[MarkInCA]

15. I probably got the Basin name wrong. That was back in '91?

I remember I had to cancel a drive to the central valley because almost all routes north flooded out somewhere. The 405 flooded right before you hit the 5 going north.

I'll never forget the kid who fell in and cameras caught him rushing out of control down the LA river. A river that is usually so dry they love to film car chases.

Sniff, I miss SoCal.

9. Oh, man, WHY IN HELL were you watching Fox? KCAL 9 serves the

community much better.

[Initech]

12. Like I said I was flipping through the channels.

Flipping between Family Guy, football, and the fire coverage.

[kestrel91316]

14. I just went back and forth between 2 and 9 all weekend.

Video of flames and burnt out homes has burned itself onto my retinas at this point.

[Swamp Rat]

10. .

:hug:

[The_Casual_Observer]

13. Yet somehow it was news all over the world, via CNN "World Report

I think.
