Hey guys, My name is Myke. I live in Nor Cal but my brother is a fellow So Cal tC owner in SD. He's one of the people taking refuge there in the stadium. Actually, he's under one of the bridges (don't know if there's more than one). His SN here is thekevin and he, his girlfriend, and his son are there.
Let's hope that fellow Scion owners (as well as others there) are ok.

DAM!!!! Whew! Great Pic!! Wish I was there! I know that's a terrible thing to say but as a photographer I can't help it.

I pray you can keep taking pics at a safe distance! LA has flames south by you and north of us. I saw the smoke last night on my way home from the show.

"It's a tragic time for California," California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said earlier Monday.

He declared a state of emergency in seven counties and asked the National Guard to pull 800 soldiers from patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border to help battle the wildfires.

Monday evening, Schwarzenegger asked U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates to order delivery of all available Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems (MAFFS) to help fight the fires.

According to the White House, the federal Agriculture Department will provide fire crews, air tankers and helicopters to fight the fires, and the state will receive assistance grants to help pay firefighting costs.
