Shit's on fire again

[Big Dick McGee]

Looking out my window, if I crane my neck to the right, it looks like the Hollywood Hills are on fire.

I'll just ignore it, and keep staring at the cool, blue Pacific Ocean. Looks sooo close...

Had a fire in the town I work recently. That was the first time I'd seen flames so big, so close. Kind of scary freaky. Made me want smores.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Not much in the Hollywood Hills except actors and celebutantes. So, no loss.

About an hour ago. Sepulveda Pass; near the Getty.

 

[Love Child]

No way. WTF How does one breathe? I just don't think I could get used to that. Remember the fires that Yub and SuN were posting about last year? Those were some crazy pictures!

[Big Dick McGee]

Yup, that's what I can see if I crane my neck to the right. Did you take that picture??

 

[Dual]

Yeah, on my way back from Westwood earlier.

I used to take the 405N every day when I lived in the Valley. Took me over an hour to go 14 miles. Even though my commute home now is shit, it's still about 90 minutes to go 52 miles. That will somewhat explain to other folks how incredibly congested the 405 is.

So, you took that at like 2:30 and it was already clogged?

 

[Love Child]

It used to take me an hour and 1/2 to go 32 miles.

1:30, yeah. It was mostly a result of people were slowing down because of the fire, though. The traffic's normally worse southbound.

Maybe it was CGI fire and smoke created by GEORGE LUCAS
