Quick story if y'all wanna read it...
I posted earlier that I stay in Corona and that I was supposed to head to Fullerton for a baby shower... And here's what REALLY happened:
- Hop on the 91 Fwy from McKinley Avenue @ about 1:30-1:45p... the baby shower had already started.
- @ 2:30 we're around Serfas Club Drive (it's about 5 miles heading west)
- around 3:30ish we take the 71fwy and exit Grand ave in Chino Hills because on my Google Maps, it shows the 60Fwy lookin like straight doodoo
- we stop @ a Jack In the Box and talk to an elderly couple familiar w/ the area, and they tell me they're gonna take Carbon Canyon Road, which is a back road through the hills.
- the lady calls me 5 min after she leaves JITB and says roll through, we're movin nice.
- about 5-10 minutes before we hit the end of Carbon Canyon, she calls me and tells me to turn back.
- Now I take Chino Hills Pkwy to Grand Ave, then proceed to Golden Springs ave(which turns into Colima Ave in Rowland Heights)
- by this time, it's about 4:30p... WE'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS NOW.
- Colima Ave is nonsense, so we take Brea Canyon to Pathfinder which is NO different.
- btw, the shower ended @ 5pm.
- so now it's past 5pm and we finally make it to Fullerton Road, which is ANOTHER disaster.
- using google maps, I take some residential streets to get off Harbor Blvd and I end up on Whittier Blvd.
- (I started the day with a half tank of gas, my gas light now turns on)
- We find out the "afterparty" is in Placentia, which is pretty much next door to the Yorba Linda fires
- At last... no more bumper to bumper, side street traffic.
- I take Imperial Blvd to the 57 South, which was wide open and see a parade of cars sitting like ducks heading North.
- We get to my cousins house @ 6pm.... roughly 4 hours behind the wheel.
- First thing I do when I get in, plop on the couch and tune into the 'SC game. You ain't tell me to do A GADDAMN thing.
- 6 shots of Vodka + a few hours of poker later? $80 in my pocket and we end up right where we started. Home.

i live at Chino so i can see the bright red sky outside my house. I can also see the flames blazing from here pretty well.
Carbon Canyon is about 15 minutes driving distance from me. Luckily we dont have to evacuate yet but my house isnt near any moutains and shrubbery.
Hope this thang dies soon

Damn fam, you're near me. I'm in Pomona right now and the air is terrible. Parts of the sky are orange and grey.
This is ugly. Schwarzenneger has declared a state of emergency in many parts of Southern California.
They've had to evacuate 20,000 people.

perpetrators? I don't think this was caused by people. It's just that since it's so dry, hot, and windy...something like this wasbound to happen.
Well anyways, I live in Diamond Bar and am evacuating like right now. Wish me luck.

the small one in Rancho Palos Verdes was deemed caused by bird which landed on a power line.

Hmm. Alright if you say so. I just keep thinking about the last one that was caused by human error. Question because of how risky it is to live in CA becauseof the natural disasters will your insurance company cover your home if it is damaged?

Eastlake is the neighborhood in front of yorba regional right?
If so, my friend lives in there and she evacuated last night, and as of right now, she said that the area hasn't been harmed by the fire yet....
But in the mean time..
I'm about to go help my friend and his family out..
his house was victim to the fires....
this is so tough seeing close friends have something happen like this to them..
i can't even imagine what he's going through...
please keep your thoughts and prayers out for him...
