I don't know why, but I'm suddenly hungry for a spam sandwich.

turns out places at N. Portola Springs are not confirmed if they burned or didnt per my buddys latest call. Some sky is falling guy said he thought they had burned. He's staying with a friend in Lake Forest.

<p>From the OCFA:</p>

<p>Anybody know where "Amberhill" is located?</p>

 

[skeptic_IHB]

Channel 30 is calling the area: "Amberhill in the West Irvine area." Where is West Irvine exactly?

West Irvine = Tustin.

 

[tealeaf_IHB]

MuffDaddy: West Irvine = Tustin.



Huh?



So Irvine Spectrum = Lake Forest?

And Turtle Ridge = Newport Beach?

Villa Park = Orange



Yeah, I know West Irvine feeds TUSD. So does Northpark. And Beckman is off Bryan & Culver.

I'm rethinking the desirability of Orchard Hills (again, and for the same reason). Anyone else?

 

[EvaLSeraphim_IHB]

According to KTLA, the current areas of concern are south, in Lake Forest, Foothill Ranch, and Whiting Park.

Eva - Tahdni, on another thread, can get you an extra $2000 off if you want to buy in Portola Springs.

 

[EvaLSeraphim_IHB]

Oh, I'll need to track him/her down immediately.





Not.

 

[EvaLSeraphim_IHB]

Anyone near Portola/Jeffrey? I'm looking out a window and the smoke looks pretty thick in that direction again.

 

[eek_IHB]

I'm at Jeffrey/Roosevelt and you can see orange smoke.





Was just watching the news and the Irvine police chief and fire chief had a press conference. Investigation points to arson that started at 3 different spots.

Don't want to jump to conclusions since we don't know for sure yet, but I feel really strongly that all these fires aren't just blown over power lines.
