California firestorm – just watched a press briefing by various FD and PD officials – telling people to get out immediately as the fire continues to move at the astounding rate of roughly one mile an hour. Sylmar – at least 1,000 structures threatened by this fire. The clear focus was on getting people out safely – winds are still gusting strongly. West of Balboa and East of Recita Boulevards [pardon my spelling] – big swath of neighborhoods – north of the 118 [Grenada Hills?]. Freeway system in the north San Fernando Valley is shut down. Cannot go north through the valley.
Be well. Practice big medicine. Hal -- Posted By Breaking News to Break News at 11/15/2008 03:26:00 PM
