California Fire Storm

Southern California has turned into a Firestorm. A spokesman for California's Office of Emergency Services, said the state had not seen such a large evacuation since records were kept in California. The fires have reached outskirts of the Mexican city of Tijuana, 20 miles from San Diego.

Economic losses from the only guessed at being in the hundreds of millions of dollars. We will never really know until after it is all over. The flames are still raging with no end in sight.

I am glad to see President George W. Bush and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's working together to get resources to fight the fire. California’s first lady Maria Shriver Maria, a famous broadcast journalist has gone on television to give some direction for those who are wanting to help the victims in this massive disaster.

If you want to help the best place to start is with the Red Cross.org
