Massive fire in Weed, California. - Polidicks

[url]http://www.kcra.com/news/weed-fire-at-the-peak-the-entire-town-was-evacuated/28094202[/url] [quote]In just a few hours, wind-driven flames destroyed or damaged 150 structures, a saw mill and a church. At times, the fire moved so fast that residents had only a few minutes to get out of the way. On Tuesday, the "Weed Like To Welcome You" town sign still stood, but nothing else was normal as stunned residents assessed the damage, took stock of what they lost and gave thanks for what was saved. "At the peak, essentially the entire town was evacuated," state fire spokesman Robert Foxworthy said. Disastrous as the fire was for the community of 3,000 people, daybreak brought gratitude and relief that there were no reports of death or even serious injuries. he town's saw mill, once the world's largest, was among the structures damaged in the blaze. "Once the fire kicked off, you had wind driving it from the south. It got into the crowns of trees, and then it was moving extremely quickly from structure to structure, block to block," said Dennis Mathisen, another state fire spokesman. On Tuesday, chimneys were the only thing still standing in the rubble, and broken pipes spurted water over the blackened landscape. The remnants of the Holy Family Catholic Church were still smoldering, its metal girders twisted on the ground. "I mean it was devastating," said Maureen Campbell, the church's music minister who was baptized, confirmed and married at the church, along with her children. She lost her home to the fire. "The house up there is no big deal. It can be rebuilt," she said. "But this is my family church, you know? It's much more endearing to me." Tasha Davis said she was given two minutes to grab what she could from her apartment and evacuate.

Damn, I thought the article was talking about a fire in an actual weed farm. That would've been the perfect setting for Burning Man.

There are a lot of fires in California. Every night the smoke settles in my town. It gets really uncomfortable to breathe at night. Here are some images of another fire nearby: [t]http://puu.sh/bDrAk/acb78867f2.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/bDrBS/894378d7dc.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/bDrD2/3f8721b44d.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/bDrEC/579ec60c2d.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/bDrFm/b16f737b75.jpg[/t]

c'mon why wouldn't you make "Massive blaze in Weed, California" the title it writes itself

[QUOTE=BFG9000;46007899]That was one of our more [del]golden[/del] dank threads[/QUOTE] Probably going to be banned for this but just for old times sakes. 420 blaze it faggot.

I only live a short ways from there. :(

My sister and cousin live there, they evacuated to my Mom's in Redding. [editline]18th September 2014[/editline] Here from Stockton, 40-65 degrees azimuth we are seeing the wall of smoke assemble northwest of us.
