What is wrong with such people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. As I saw the images, I found this true. Somehow, reading about homes burned and refugees doesn't have the same impact as actually seeing them.

Why California? All you have to do is read the news. Mr. Schwarzenegger has signed a law forcing schools to take out anything that might seem negative towards homosexuality and other forms of sexual deviation. People in California should be grateful that it's just fire and that only one person was killed. About four thousand years ago He obliterated Sodom and Gomorrah. It must be that God is giving them a chance to repent and change. May the good citizens of California force their government to get rid of this ungodly law.

Guest Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah I saw on the news this morning they said it had burned over 650sq miles. Anyone know what it is now? Also I was wondering how many mph do these type fires go? The fires are spreading so fast because of the Santa Ana winds. In some places they have recorded wind gusts of 75-100 miles per hour is some locations. Add extremely dry vegatation from a 10 year long drought in the area and that kind of wind together with a spark and -- BOOM. You get a huge fire that the firefighters just can't deal with. Its too big. I heard on the news tonight that the winds are finally laying down quite a bit, so the fires should not spread quite as fast now.
