1,800 homes burned in San Diego County.
600 homes burned in San Bernardino County (where Mike is)
135 Burned in LA County
Unknown but at least 100+ in Orange County
1,000,000 persons evacuated, the largest evacuation in US history.
More food and clothing than they can dispense, so the Red Cross asked for people to stop donating in San Diego.
Does this sound like Katrina? No the feds aren't even here yet! As screwed up as CA is, I'm proud of my state! And doubly proud of the firefighters and pilots, wind gusts have been as high as 106 mph and 80 mph where the fixed wing craft are dropping retardant.
Anyone see that DC-10 flying between the trees!
