Wow. More than 1,000,000 people have fled this fire. And here I sit, in the middle of it, in Sherman Oaks, CA, untouched.
More than a dozen wildfires blowing across Southern California since Sunday have killed two people and forced the evacuation of more than 350,000 houses, encompassing nearly 950,000 people based on average household size. More than 40 people have been injured, including 16 firefighters.
Katrina brought in tons and tons of salt water; Denver (and much of the midwest) had massive snowstorms; and now southern California burns like never before. Wow.
