Not too far from my pad, but far enough to not worry about. I was driving home from Bobs Big Boy last night about midnight and saw huge flames and smoke in the hills. This morning, the smoke cloud is giant. Some homes are gone for sure.

 

there some homes burning around 3-4 miles from my house, Bad Bob is closer to the fire than me, I tried calling him no answer, hope all is well with him

 

We're near the Corona/Yorba Linda (John Forces Shop is right there) /Anaheim Hills fire. Have the trailer loaded up to move the horses. The Hot Rods can be driven
Just watching the news channels and web casts to see if it's time to go. Thrid time in the last few years

 

any of you guys need a place to store some cars/trailers etc.. let me know I have a yard just pm me

 

I smell smoke right now, this morning I saw a "huge" cloud of smoke, I mean huge. All the freeways going north from LA are or were closed.

 

Big fire down by Bad Bob, can see tons of smoke, and I'm 25 miles from there....

 

I smell alot of smoke right now. I'm not in harms way but had 2 friends that had to evacuate this morning. Luckily both of their houses are alright. Good luck to all you guys. I can lend a hand if anyone in the area needs it.

 

I was up at 4 watching the news.. Scary **** man! I'm also here if anyone needs help or something. Hope everyone's OK..

 

I'm across the street from Bad Bob we are still here, lots of smoke and ash, no worries yet, we do have our important stuff in the car and ready. Talked to Bobs wife it's a little scary, Bob's at work, keeping an eye out everyone's fine at the moment. Will keep things posted.

 

Good to hear that you guys are O.K.!!! When I went down there last year, I met Dreadman & Troy at HHR. and L.A. & San Diego were on fire!!!
BAD BOB better be alright, as I live "my life in Calif." thru his & Dreadmans pictures!!!!
Take care you all,I hope everything also went O.K. at the shop where some of our HAMB guys were working on that ladies '49 Chev with the ****** problems.......Ken

 

thinking the same thing about Bob, he had to work today hopefully the wind is blowing in the opposite direction from his house and stays in the hills

 

Lots of smoke and ash where im at. watching the news now and Yorba Linda is looking pretty bad about now. ready to help anyone in need.
How hard would it be to put together an emergency Phone list for hambers in need?

 

I was just outside working and can really smell the smoke, and I am not that close. But there is a giant cloud of smoke you can see from my house, Yikes !

im about 2 miles from the fire,
maybe it will take out my sedan and then i wont have to worry about that stupid thing no more

 

My Gal(C-Deuced) is in Santa Clarita-Saugus and she couldn't even get over to a pals in Sunland, All roads closed. 5 FWY just re-openned. She's staying put.

My partner in saving the broiler (Adriene and her man John )have been evacuated all day, They live in a Mid Century Modern Eichler in the Balboa Highlands and this is the 2nd time that she's been on the lookout.
Her 56 Olds Holiday is in the driveway, I'm keeping an eye on the news just in case the gals need help.

 

ive got driveway space if they need it im in sunland

 

Thanx CC,
I'll let her know if she calls.

The eddie dye roadster may be gone! The car was in a garage on the top of montecito I can't get a hold of the owner, and it ****s cause that car has been a huge influence too me since I was a little **** sitting in it.......not good

 

I was also thiking about Bob. Hope you ok Bob. Let us know how we can help if needed. We have a live one here in Corona as well that I am hoping they get under control quick. Cali guys dealing with this, Pls. be safe.

I can't believe how many fires are going on at once, it smells pretty nasty outside and the sky is just ugly, LOTS of homes lost. Really ****s.

 

I've seen on TV all the terrible news that's happening here in So Cal. It's devastating, and feel really bad for all that's effected. I'm up here in Hesperia (The High Desert before Apple Valley & 15 Fwy) and I'm not affected at all. Almost no winds today or yesterday. I don't even see the smoke. If anybody wants to bring there hot rod up here to be safe, your welcome. I have a full Archer of land, and a lots of room. It's like we're in a different world up here.

Tried to call Bad Bob, a couple of times, no answer, hope he's alright.
His town is on fire, big time.

 

i'm sure he got that thing out. hopefully. its not the real car though, only half of it! ****en crazy fires did claim a 61 corvette though that i know of. these were taken from my street. it got close, luckly it changed direction.


















the last one was taken from my yard, the others were up and down my street and on milpas. fires ****.

 

I talked to bob this morning when the fire broke out. He didn't know anything about it and thought I was messing around, but it's about 1.5 miles from his house. He's fine the last time I talked to him he had a hard time trying to get home. The Yorba Linda fire is located behind the Village Idiots meet.

 

I was at the Early Ford store this morning. Going up, no fire on the 57 freeway. An hour later, this had just started. Photos taken while driving on the freeway. Flames were about 100 yards off the edge of the road at one point.

If anybody needs a spot to store stuff, call me. (714) 615-6080. I have room inside of the shop and plenty of fenced parking. Shop is in Santa Ana.

 

11am one of our club members, Brandon, ( 133 - here on the hamb ) sent a text saying he was being evacuted, we have not heard form him since.
he lives in Yorba Linda.

 

Plenty of yard space in the O.C. boonies if needed, 10 miles from Orange and away from the fires - PM me if I can help. It burned onto my property last year but I've got good clearance. I know of many collector cars and rods in Yorba Linda. I hope they all get out.

It is just horrible in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills and going to get worse as the winds are up again. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, the Emergency Workers and all who are pulling together to fight this disaster.

 

yea it ****s, like a 1-2 punch with last years fires. neither one was close to me, hope everyone is ok. last year we lost a pump station and i had to repair some equipment in the field (i work for a water district).
