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.

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

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

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.
