Default Fires in California

Have you guys heard of the fires going through California? I live in Spring Valley, which is in San diego. The fires have spread through quite a few counties. This morning at 12:30 my mom waked me up and told me to pack in case we had to evacuate. I went outside and looked across the reservoir we live by and the top of the hill was on fire. This morning I woke up and saw it down at the bottom. The fires were pronounced the worst fires in California history. The first two pictures are Mt. Miguel Hill, that is the one by my house.







Alot of the people evacuated have gone to our local sports stadium or high schools. All the schools in the San Diego county unified school district have been closed.

Even though this time is tragic, it is also good. When the fire burns the dry plants, it makes it able for new plant life to grow.

here in ga, we have a 99% water ban. you can drink, bathe, and pee, but at restarants, they aren't supposed to serve water, and if your car overheats, tough. btw, we only have 80 days before my area becomes a minor desert with NO water.

Hell on Earth. But, photographers paradise.

All the photography forums I frequent have some really nice photo documentaries on these fires, I'd post some but they're all copywritten and I'm not asking for permission.
