I've thought of that Kurt. It's not critical, yet, and I'm hoping it won't be. I just exchanged e-mails with Italcarguy, who lives near me, and he concurs. I'll be watching very closely, however. If I think there's even a hint of danger, I'll be loading up and be outta here. The house is insured up the wazoo, so I'll take the irreplaceables and be gone.

Ok, I am gonna feel really bad if we weren't a little more ready to get out there. I think I am gonna get to VNY airport, there is a van there. I can hang at the office and get stuf done if there is no need. Sonic and Kevin are welcome to meet there, I'll PM my number to both of you. We could always cruise the Gulfstreams (my office) while waiting.

Time for an update....anyone have any current news ?

ok Scott, any progress?

Here's the latest picture...as of 1:30 p.m. Lotsa black smoke, and I can see flames on the hillside. :eek:

I am on the 405 just at the bottom of Sepulveda Pass. Kevis on standby at VNY airport.

scott,
i am in gardena right now working. maybe i should leave and go home?

Scott: I'd get the **** out of there, man. If you can see flames, it's time to leave.

Hey Scott....Do you know why ducks have flat feet ?

Scott I second dd, you need to get your ass out of there!

Anthony: If I were you I'd come home. Not sure you'll need to do anything, but rush-hour is gonna be hell today because all of the westbound 118 traffic for Simi, Ventura, etc. will be on the 101. That'll cause back-ups on other freeways. You'll be kicking yourself if you need to get home and are stuck in traffic. A friend called to tell me it took him 2-1/2 hours this morning to go from Agoura to downtown. I sent you my phone number. Call if you want to talk.

Scott

No, Kevin, why do ducks have flat feet?

check this... my ferrari 308 is in the garage on jackstands and i live around the corner from scott (closer to the fire). my wheels are in north hollywood getting re-done. i just called my friend and he is taking the wheels off his 308 and take them to my house should we need to move the car.

Tony: I'm already up here. Is there anything I can do to help?

no, the house is locked and nobody is home. i just got off the phone with my friend. he is at the end of sesnon. says the fire is about 3/4 - 1 mile away from the dead end of the street right now. i think i am gonna leave work in a few min. i will probably call you once i get up there.

Scott, if you can see flames, what the hell are you still doing there?

OK, Scott. Am at the hangar. Have a full size van. Traffic is starting to get tough. Can get to desoto on the 118. Is howling east wind here at the airport, and you mknow what the sky looks like up your way. Bad

KevinP73 is standing by. Moment of truth. Should we come?

To stamp out burning forest fires...You why elephants have flat feet?
To stamp out burning ducks.
Moral of the story....Look out for the elephants.
(and trying to lighten things up just a bit, Bud)
We're here for you.

Scott, they just closed the 118. Completely.

I'm going to put cars away here and meet Micheal at VNY. Micheal, whats the best way to get to you?
