1 million evacuated and at least half of them have no where to go. They are sleeping in their cars .. they are sleeping in the yards of thier burned

Hmm.. any word on whether there has been a grassroots movement on Craigslist or anywhere yet, to offer up spare guest rooms to some of the displaced families? a-la Katrina?

that might be a good place to start.

.

You know, I watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. Offering a room can be a bad idea. lol

I was very hesitant to play your stupid utube video. Then I did and I smiled and smiled

I'm going to bed too. It's a wife and eight kids...

Welcome to the gutter, asshole. Have you learned anything this time, not to breed like fuckin rabbits?

In any fire prone disater area it would make sense to have a bolt hole stocked with clean water, heat, blankets and basic foods to return to when the flames go out. It doesn't have to be anything fancy - just a starting point from which to re-build.

Many of these people (not all) would have been rich enough to take this elementary precaution. Whilst I do have some sympathy for folk who have lost everything I refuse to shed crocodile tears for the irresponsible who had fancy possessions in a house of sticks.

Trin's bunker may be a bit over the top but he aint totally stupid. TSHTF in all sorts of ways when you least expect it.

At times like these you pack up and move in with relatives. It's their privilege and their responsibility to help you out in hard times.

From riches to rags
sleeping in the car would not be much fun
or a sports stadium.

One small mercy is most of the smoke from these fires is heading out into the pacific, and not over Los Angeles.

Hasn't anyone learned anything by now? DO NOT expect the world to help you in the event of a disaster. You got to have your own plan.

Rather sleepon a boat

If the wind was coming in off the sea there would be a chance of some rain!

There are over 30 evacuation centers open already in San Diego, and if more are needed, they WILL open more!

I say you're a troll.



.

Yes, THAT has also happened, and even for pets (90% of the pets community is now devoted to housing evaced pets)...


.

This is a wake up call for everyone. Be prepared for anything. Sleeping in your car is not so bad.

tough luck.

can´t be worse than woodstock...

E'rybody come on over to my house. Partay!

Haven't you people learned yet that you are on your own?! You really think that someone else should take care of you?!?!

"Oh help me... I am too stupid to think for myself...please tell me where to go and what to do..."

If you didn't learn after watching the crap in New Orleans, I guess that you will never learn!

pay taxes?

To everyone with a country home-

An ideal shelter would be a underground tunnel from a room in your home, to a room dug out next to the city's water supply line and connected to the electric lines from your house, for which you already pay for the electric, on your side of the meter. Eventually fill in the tunnel to the house or trap door the tunnel and use another entrance that comes out elsewhere, also hidden. There's noting illegal about adding a new room, while living in the country with no zoning.

They need to come to Las Vegas. We have a glut of 20,000 houses never lived in.

Maybe New Orleans could take in the evacuees....

The San Diego County Blood Bank will be at Qualcomm Stadium Wednesday, taking advantage of the large pool of potential donors. It has five "Bloodmobiles" at the stadium as part of an effort to increase supplies. Coordinators at Qualcomm Stadium say they are also in need of latex gloves, baby wipes, size one and two diapers, non-electric can openers, tooth brushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and soap.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center is also accepting donations. They especially need rakes, shovels, sifting tools and other items that will aid in fire-recovery efforts. The center also needs toiletries, hand lotion, lip balm, eyewash kits, sanitary supplies, tooth brushes and paste, combs, hair brushes and razors. Donated items can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Kroc Center, 6845 University Ave.

Don't expect the utilities to be functioning in a SHTF scenario.

my company has nine buildings right on the strip and i was thinking about selling the condo here in so fl and working out there until i read the article that said within three years vegas will have serious water problems.

guess it will be hawaii where we have just bought land to build five new buildings.
