You can see where each of the fires are located and if you click on the link you'll see what the status is of that fire.

I didn't realize just how widespread this issue is - I knew San Diego was affected but hell it goes above Los Angeles. This is probably more area than the entire state of Delaware (my hometown)

1. If you own a farm what is the best thing to do if you can't get them out by

vehicle...set them free?

I just don't want to think of horses and other animals trapped and burning to death in barns. That'd break my heart.

4. They're posting large animal needs.

7. That's what some of the owners have been doing

just letting the horses go.

3. It hasn't been updated since last night.

I've noticed that a lot of the links I bookmarked yesterday haven't been updated.

This one is excellent, though: <http://twitter.com/nateritter>
