Hopefully his house is not in the Yorba Linda area. This area has NO water pressure. A water pumping facility burned to the ground. No water! Firemen are pissed.
Everything is fine at his house in OC. I am only about 10 houses away and things are fine aside from lots of smoke and wind. The fires are still a few miles away but there is a lot of open areas to burn towards us. Our dad is on the look out so, so far so good. Thanks for the concern.
I started watching it online on KABC. My sister got evacuated from Yorba Linda...to my Dad who's in the hills near Robby's I think.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in SoCal. I went through it in the Malibu mountains(Calabasas) as a teen and we came within feet of our house going up. My Dad stayed back when the fire dept left and he saved the house with a garaden hose, like a fool!!! We all thought he'd be a crispy critter for sure. It was a miracle he lived through it. It's always be to go when they tell you to. Stuff is just stuff when you think about it.
Ron Gibson (Gibson Performance Exhaust) lost his home yesterday in the Yorba Linda fire. I remember when he started out in his shop on Imperial Highway.....a true rags to riches story. I'm sure he will rebuild.
