It really does suck about the pictures. I do find it a bit odd that you would mention movies and clothes with irreplaceable things.

Is insurance going to cover the cost to replace a lot of that stuff?

You typically have about 20 minutes to get the fuck out when shit goes to hell, assuming he was actually at his residence when the evacuation order was given its hard to get anything of value when you need to spend that time getting things so you can rebuild your life.
Things like clothes for the next few days, and paperwork suddenly take a huge priority.
He'll probably get to live in a FEMAVille for awhile, assuming he doesn't have other plans/places.

Holy fuck man. :/

I'm waiting for the reverse 911 call at this point... then it's out to the ocean. Or Qualcomm. I'm thinkin' Qualcomm for sure, though. I trust them over some my mom's boss, who is the reason my family broke up.

Have you made the mental checklist of what to take or even started packing up yet?

Seeing as how so many people have lost so much stuff, you know for a fact they'll weasel out of every single item they can get away with not replacing. :|

True, it sucks but its the way it goes. Plus documenting everything that was there before hand is difficult when all you're left with is a pile of ashes.

You brought your computer.. but left things that really mean something to you?  Seems a little weird to me, although in my house the only thing that really means anything to me is my computer.  Everything else is replaceable without a thought.

Also, what's up with all of you peoples parents being divorced?  Almost almost my friends' parents are divorced.  :\
He brought his computer to his friends house before he knew his house would burn, therefore he had his computer and nothing else

I'm waiting for that call too. and then if i need to get out then I will go to my parents warehouse which is in kerney mesa (a mile up the road from qualcom( woot at my parents warehouse i have food for life :)

Serious question: any way I can stay with you if we're evacuated? I'd rather go there... and if it's a mile from Qualcomm, it's probably safe.

Have you made the mental checklist of what to take or even started packing up yet?

My brother packed some basic foods that apparently won't spoil, I packed some clothing, and I took pictures of everything in my room for insurance purposes.

I'm also going to grab my lizards on the way out.

True, it sucks but its the way it goes. Plus documenting everything that was there before hand is difficult when all you're left with is a pile of ashes.

That's why I figure, get pictures or a video. And most of my possessions my dad bought, and he's in Arizona.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Terrible news my friend. I guess we all have to take a look at our own situations and realize how this can happen to any class in any developed country.

On the whole 'bringing you computer' conversation, I completely agree my my machines are irreplaceable. I have always told myself in the event of a catastrophe my two computers will be the first (if only) thing I grab.

Sucky man, good luck continuing on after this. And the fire is this bad? Wow, I'd better get reading the news...

On a side note, the only thing I probably would grab is a few sentimental things and my 250GB external hard drive. Computers can be replaced however, the data on them is harder to replace.

...mom's boss, who is the reason my family broke up.
Well, if it was a bad marriage, then it could be for the best. In retrospect, I'm pretty happy that my parents broke up, they're both happier now than they would have been.
Yeah, but look how you turned out. :P

I guess the fire skipped the 76 and went into my region. Vally Oaks Park was burned down and that is were I live. Luckly I was stayiing at a friends house when it happened and Brought my computer over to his house, But everything Else. Is gone.

My pictures of my dead father.

All my DvDs

Cloths.

Personal stuff.

Everything. I am so heart broken right now I don't even know what to say. Wish me luck through this. =[

Really sorry to hear that man, hopefully everything works out well.

I feel for you.  I was a refugee as a child and my family lost everything.  I have almost no childhood pictures.  I wish you well.
