17,000+ acres burned, and growing. Still only 5% contained, but that's a pretty huge thing when you consider that at 11pm last night, it was 3,500-5,000 acres. At 5:30 this morning, it was 7-10,000 acres. 3,000 firefighters working on it. Miraculously, only 3 structures have been burned, which is mindboggling when you see this thing and realize that 17,000 acres is the size of a small city. Huntington Beach, California, to be precise. It's stretched 15 linear miles east to west from where it started. I'm really worried it's going to cross the 101 and move toward Malibu. That will be Bad. It's a "terrain-driven" fire, so if it crosses over south of the 101 - and then into Malibu, it could very likely also burn back this way and into Topanga Canyon, which we are about 1 mile northeast of. The last big fire in this area was 33 years ago, when the house that was originally on this property burned to the ground. That's something to think about, folks. Please pray it moves AWAY from us and doesn't move back east. I so can't afford to lose everything. Peace out, copyright 2002
