Re: [Chrysler300] California'a burning

[Brandt Jimerson <brandt300g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone in 300sville!! 
   
  Yes Louis and all, were ALL OKAY!! Thank you kindly for your concerns Louis. Also, I was concerned about you, Eileen, and Big Yellow as well up in West hills when I heard about the Malibu fire! Yes we had a reverse 911 mandatory call to evacuate but we did a 'no no' and stayed. The flames here in Valley Center, California came within 2 to 2 1/2 miles of our home and even closer during the Paradise fire (and Cedar fire) in 2003! This portion of the fire was an 'end finger' of the 'Witch Creek' fire, the biggest in So. California. 'Melissa', my G of course is okay too. I can see a glow as I write right now of flames on Palomar Mt. (were the famous observatory is located). Angelo Mitchell's house in Escondido, with the beautiful 300C convertible (the metallic green one), was all okay as well. His home is right north of Rancho Bernardo, witch appeared to be the hardest hit with a loss of homes! Well, thanks again all for your concerns!!
   
  Sincerely & 300ly, Brandt H. J. w/ a G. in smokey San Diego!

          Hello all from smoky southern California, in the San Fernando Valley,
northwest of Los Angeles city proper. Everyone here at our home is ok,
thank you for your thoughts. The fires were to the north, east and west of
us. All the roads out to the coast that Big Yellow runs free on were
closed. Hundreds of homes were lost. The area that I used to live in,
Rancho Bernardo, in northern San Diego County was decimated. This was a
planned community that was started in the 60?s. Streets of homes that I saw
when they were built were on the news as they burnt to the ground.

Out towards the San Diego coast (to the west of Rancho Bernardo) in the
exclusive Rancho Santa Fe area, several estates were lost. Some of these
were homes of serious auto collectors ? we do not know as of yet what prized
collector cars were lost. One resident of the area was on the news with his
incinerated home and what was left of a pristine 55 Thunderbird, a burned
out shell.

This morning the winds are calm, as we can now put out the fires and
hopefully the Santa Ana winds, as they are called, are over.

I am pretty sure that club member Brent J (with a G) was evacuated ? we hope
he and his wife are well.

Stay tuned for further details and thank you again for all of your good
thoughts.
