california wildfires evacuation

Its good to be ready...13 mins ain't alot of time to pack up your life.

I was just out in this area about two years ago, and drove through Idyllwild and the surrounding areas on a day road trip. Beautiful place to visit!

One of the things that struck me was how dry it was... and how much the brush had really built up. I remember thinking then, one spark and this could really get bad very quickly. There was quite a breeze to push it along as well.

A neighbor here is with the local FD and said the latest numbers for amount of fuel and humidity levels in the fuel were not good. He compared it to levels seen just before the Cedar Fire -- seriously not good.

Fire season is really just starting. When the Santa Ana winds kick in, stand by.
