California fires, is Jesus OK?

[Quillman (imported)]

I see from my TV in England the news of those dreadful fires in Canada, and I remember Jesus a while ago now suffering hardship as a consequence which brought me to tears. I really hope that history has not repeated itself as I would not want anything to happen to my friend of twenty years now. Anybody can help please?

Monday morning, it looks like the entire town in California where Jesus lives in a mandatory evacuation zone. I have not heard from him since Saturday morning, as the power company was doing another shut-off for a few days.

Did Jesus move to Canada?

It's California not Canada. Spellcheckers are the spawn of satan.

I got an email from Jesus on Saturday that said the Electric Company PG&E was going to shut down their power within two hours of the email because of forecast high winds up to 100 mph.

As far as I can tell from the fir maps and reports (which aren't very good) the fire is east of where Jesus lives. But the weather reports report less than 10% humidity and winds of 80mph. Those winds are why the fires are so hard to control.

It's a waiting game until PG&E restores electric.

added: I'll search the news again in a few hours.

Don't Worry About Moi,

I'm Okay.

Orange County canyon county is already burnt out methinks.

I'm imagining the Sepulveda Pass up in flames as the 405 is shut down.

Also after 3 monitored Mountain Lion deaths, these fires are

destroying what little habitat the few remaining ones have

in the Santa Monica mountains.

SUPPORT GRAZING.

Think of all that meat going up in smoke!

Thanks for the input folks, my mistake confusing California with Canada my 78 years is to blame I fear. In fairness living on this side of the pond, other countries are not so familiar as they might be, sorry.

However my concern and sympathy are no less sincere.

I've not heard from Jesus, but yes, his town in California is evacuated. I can't imagine the government in California is going to allow the northern California utlity known as PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) keep shutting power off, power on, power off, power on, for long. I'm not generally for government control of things, but I'd certainly make an exception in the case of this power company.

My mother has had her electric turned off twice in the past week. 2 days each time. This, after the power company nearly clear-cut her property to keep trees away from the lines.

​Tried calling yesterday, and all I got was the rapid busy signal that is usually indicative of phone service being out.

My thought are with all the folks affected by these fires.

We have a programme currently running on BBC "The Americas with Simon Reeve" and this week he was in California.

Featured was the tragedy and devastation of last years fires to have this happen again this year must be a

hard pill to swallow for those residents living in the danger area.

I'm a native of California. It has a varied geography and climates. One part of the state can be quite different than another. I lived in the area where a lot of these fires are prone to happen. We've not had it go through where my mother presently lives, but it's come close a few times.

A joke among Californians is that California only has two seasons - Fire and mudslide. Right now it's fire season, it will be mudslide season starting in a month or so.
