LOS ANGELES (AFP) - More than 300,000 people were evacuated across California on Tuesday as wildfires raged across the state, prompting President George W. Bush to declare an emergency.

Not everyone living there is a famous movie star with more money than brains who will just say "Oh well" and buy another house in Aruba or some shit.
A lot of people are having to abandon everything and just get the fuck out. That wildfire fire business is a scary thing.
My family had a home destroyed by fire when I was in the second grade. Seven years old, standing outside in the winter, watching firemen try and save what they could from the house before the fire and water ruined it all. We were safe and had family to stay with until we were able to get into another house, but it's a helpless feeling when all you can do is shag ass and hope for the best.
Makes me wonder though; I hear Sean Penn is one of the "unfortunate" people from the area who had to abandon his place. What with all the aid and comfort he so graciously and selflessly handed out in New Orleans after Katrina shit all over the city, do you reckon there will be a trail of folks from Louisiana scurrying up to L.A. to give him a hand and offer him some relief?
Me neither.
Best of luck to the rest of you folks though. This shit is going to get worse before it gets better.
Good thing you're a non-smoking state, eh?
