We're on Fire...(nonMBA)

Living in SoCal, we deal w/ the occasional earthquakes and the seasonal fires. The media is calling these series of fires, "Firestorm 2007". I do admit, these series of fires are definitely closer to urban area, rather then in the forested mountains close by.

San Diego is in worse condition then Orange County. I heard 500,000 people (yes...five hundred thousand...half a million) were evacuated from their homes in SD. Our sister campus, UCSD had to shut down. While we at UCI, are just continuing w/ classes. Schools in snow prone areas of US have snow days. I guess UCSD got a "fire day", while UCI didn't. Although, I do know that we did come to a few meetings of calling a "fire day" ourselves.

Check out the NASA's pictures of SoCal.
