Back in 2009 the California State Park caught fire and I had to help some friends and my ex girlfriend evacuate their homes(the State Park entrance is about 2 km from my house). The damage here was nowhere near as bad as Colorado, though. I kinda feel sad for all the animals. I really hope they catch the person(s) responsible, if there are any. Arson really irritates me. -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

Wow, Gary, here in Arkansas, we are under a burn ban because it has been so dry. It's been up in the 100s.

Yeah guys this has been a crazy year so far in the states. Where I live (Virginia, West Virginia border) on Friday experienced what weather dudes ( I can't spell that meteoroligist word.....arghhh) call a Derecho.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2012_Nor...merican_derecho In my area we got some extremely strong winds in excess of 80 mighs an hour and really violent thunderstorms for two sucessive nights. It hit the area really fast and with no warning knocked out power for millions of people, including mine for four days. Thankfully my family got off light, aside from being out of power and losing some lawn funiture that got blown away and smashed to pieces by the wind. Lost all the food in our freezer also due to the power outages but no one was hurt. However I know people who have lost their homes due to wind damage, and its still kinda nuts around here what with people buying up all the gas that is available, or stealing it and other things like generators. Lots of people still don't have any power and it may be next week some time before it is fully restored. Keep us in your prayers, and I will remember those in Colorado and Florida as well. I believe it was a famous British man who said, "Keep calm and carry on!" -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

I just heard about the Derecho on NPR this morning(I haven't been paying attention to the news these last few days because I have been sick, but they have been covering it since it happened). Millions are still without power from the midwest to the Atlantic Coast. What is our country coming to?

Those winds can do so much damage!

Those winds can do so much damage!Yeah I have been in a huricane before, and while this didn't last nearly as long, only about 45 min- to 1 hour, it was really intense. Thankfully I got my power back on, but there are people here who are probably not going to get their power back till next week sometime. And right now its 93 degrees, so a lot of people are suffering heat stroke as a result of no air conditioning. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat
