As +NPR's Alan Greenblatt reports, the fires have affected thousands of acres and put lives and property in jeopardy."

I can see me
Are you down there?
I'm below the F in fornia
I have several friends in the fire areas… All evacuated…
They all have a place to stay?
Yep – just lots of evacs it seems – hope the winds die down… that would sure help the issue… not that Southern CA does not catch on fire every year but this seems like a bad combo of winds and multiple fires..all the fire crews from up north here are all being sent south….
