Crap, Our Turn...

Santa Ana winds came in last night with sustained winds in the 30 MPH, gusts pushing 100 mph.  Silverado fire erupted and went from 10 acres to 2,000 in the blink of an eye.  Our corporate office is about 1 block outside the evacuation zone.  HR gave me the OK to come in and keep tabs & facilitate communications. 

This is what I was mentioning in the CO fire thread, several foothill communities are right in the fires path... If they don’t contain it a huge community in North Irvine is going to burn...

Heading in:

Loking towards the North from my building.

I have a friend in the Bay Area with fires encroaching from 2 sides. She has essentially evacuated but her hubby won’t go until they tell him to. She’s very strong and independent. If she’s worried for him, it’s for good reason. Really hope she doesn’t become a widow.

So the evac order came and I had to sweep both campus’ in the evac area.  

One building that should have been clear was not... Uh I need to finish this. The company AND the Sheriff have sent an evac order, you need to leave now.  Who the hell are you to tell me to leave?!?!  I pulled the number for the CEO/owner and said look at who I’m about to call. You got 10 seconds to get out or I’m calling him directly to tell him I can’t leave because you won’t  leave.  I suspect you won’t ever be coming back once I make this call...

Dumbass begrudgingly packed his shit & left.  I then snatched his badge so he couldn’t go back in. Stupid fucker..:  I wanted to knock his ass out & drag him to his car.

This is what an evac looks like
