    That burning ring of fire.

    Well, this kind of sucks. There is currently a large fire burning out of control approximately five miles away from my house. So far 30 houses have burned to the ground and the fire is still out of control.

    The city is requesting a volintary evacuation of Scripps Ranch (the suburb where I live) and the red cross has turned my old high school into an emergency releaf center. Currently the fire is heading south west and I live almost due south so hopefully the fire will not burn my house. The sucky thing is I've lived in Scripps most of my life and I know just about everyne else who lives here so I actually am friends with some of the people who's homes burned down.

    I've seen footage of the fire on TV.

    Don't hesitate and evacuate. That would be too bad to lose your home, you wouldn't wwant to lose your life as well

      Remember to take your harddrives. Good luck, buddy.

        Don't take any chances, and remember your hard drive.
        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                No, JM, we mean, pull the harddrive out of the computer and leave everything else. They're small and much easier to transport than the whole PC.

                Now that you've read our advice, get off the computer, pack, and get the **** outta dodge. Fire don't play.

                GO!!!!!!

                Get to a safe internet cafe and let us know you're okay.

                  ...feel free to bring the rest of the computer, if it's convenient...

                    Oh, and bring all of the CD's to your computer games (music, as well, actually). They don't take up much space but can be costly to replace.

                      Oh, the fire is moving slow enough so I'm not afraid of dieing. I'm afraid of losing everything my family and I have worked towards for our entire life. I know money doesn't matter and it sucks when anyone loses their home but I'm looking across the way watching $1million houses go up in flames.

                      I snapped a few digital pictures which I can post latter when everything is over.

                        Anything that costs money can be replaced -- be sure to pack anything that you will miss that cannot be replaced.

                          The TV just announce the volintary evacuation has become a manditory evacuation. I'm loading up my car with my passport, birth certificate, a change of clothes, jewlery, computer, cameras...

                          Any suggestions for stuff that would be important?
