Lets have the walking through yucca contest to see who has some real cajones!

Bah! Buckthorn Now that's a real bummer

I'd rather walk though a mile of Yuccas than 1/10 mile of Buckthorn

Short video I took on the way to work this AM

This is on the freeway La Tuna Cyn Rd and Honolulu east bound

Yeah I'm nuts I went for a hike in the smoke on sunday

Here is a video showing the Smoke

I was gonna head up there sometime next year....

Any GPS data?

I like the photos, thanks for sharing

Another pass of the satellite shows some possible hopeful signs on the South East Claw

[LOL. Amen. Wonder how long it will take to grow back? Hey, when I zoom in, the perimeter disappears. What gives? Probably just a problem with my settings. Hummm.. dunna know I made the Opacity about 30-something % so it may just be hard to see. under the Map 0901 folder the Active perimeter, rt-cl...

Crap, looks like that nice Oak Grove in Haines Canyon about 2/3 of the way up the road before it turns out of the canyon is within the fire perimeter. Hope they didn't all get wiped out. Same with some of the nice oaks and sycamores up by the spring. Yeah don't count up your losses until you can se...

The GEOMAC site is sloooooow

I have been hearing this too but I've not seen any solid information

I took a bit of video on the way to work early this AM

The Beast has continued it relentless crawl through our playground overnight Mostly it has two flanks now, West and East The west flank bordered by Little Tujunga Canyon The East flank has two claws. The North One on Pacifico Mtn heading toward Pleasant View Ridge The south claw roughly bordered on ...

With all those acres burned. We dont even want to think of the wildlife that was lost. But for the creatures that made it out.... Are there gonna be more bears, cougars & deer in the residental areas below the foothills? Im suprised only one bear in a basement story popped up. I did see a small...

Rome wasn't built in a day, and this won't be put out in a day either

The weather will have to cooperate, higher humidity, cooler temps, a light to moderate wind so the aircraft can operate

And with no wind...Seems almost impossible to fathom. There is plenty of wind at the fire, it creates it's own weather.... All that stuff burning sucks lots of air into the area and up It is so powerful it is going up to 20,000+ft throwing all those small particles up there too You'll notice those ...

I've been working on a list on military wreck sites that disappeared in the formerly dense undergrowth of ANF. 04/06/43 BT-13A flown by instructor William T. Nunn from Cal Aero School at Ontario AAF crashed on north slope of Mt. Lukens, above La Crescenta, killing him instantly. Been There, there i...

If you are having trouble accessing the Geomac website I downloaded the Active Perimeter and made an online map of it

this is 115.575.38 acres

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8& ... 899583f7e7

Its all toast! :cry: how did the fire get so uot of control. I have seen better fire combat for the other fires in the past year. when it was just a small blaze east of lukens. They should have had it out in a day I couldn't disagree There needs to be an investigation as to why this happened, they ...

for the perimeter that is shown on the Geomac website my GIS program calculates 115,575.38 acres

Obviously not all that has burned inside the active perimeter, but I gives you some sense of the size

I thought Mount Wilson was going to be overrun. It leaped from 45,000 acres to 85,000 acres over night, it looks like. Is that possible? This is bad, bad, bad. Mt Wilson is toast, just a matter of time. (unless there is some sort of divine intervention) I pay no attention to those values they are a...
