I've seen worse. There have been a few over the past few years that have gone on for days. One time I called into work at AVN and asked "How bad is the fire? Should I come in?" and was told "everything's fine, don't worry". As I came up the 118, it looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. Low-flying choppers, traffic being re-directed, flames leaping into the air....later that evening ash started falling on the parking lot.

A1r3k, if it gets too bad, make a dash for the mall where they've got the air conditioners.
