[quote=Anonymous]Live in Southern California in a community that had a massive wildfire that burned for 40 days and spread 50 miles - FIFTY MILES five years ago.

The worst thing I ever heard in my life as the hills above my neighborhood burned closer and closer was the dispatch of the county fire department yell, "abandon and move on"  "no hope" "abandon the hospital is gone".  The neighbors gathered on a corner listening to a the dispatcher on an app that a neighbor had playing. It seemed like twighlight on a hot summer day even though it was midnight in winter.

If you are in a wildfire in in the West, NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU. There simply aren't enough resources. Neighbors ran door to door banging to wake everyone up. Men stayed and fought for our neighborhood as embers starte falling and only one house burned and a few others were singed.

We drove away and parked and watched 500 homes burn in our community.

If anyone has kids at UCLA, they need to be prepared to leave.
