Default Forest Fire has gotten MUCH MUCH worse

Well I don't know if anybody remembers my thread from a few days ago.

https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...threadid=90221

But the fire has gotten MUCH worse. 30,000 people have now been evacuated from their homes. Tons of my friends and family have been evacuated and their homes have been destroyed. And tomorrow it is only supposed to get worse. It is now estimated that the fire has consumed 24,000 hectares. If anybody wants to look at more pics, or wants any information then Castanet.net is the place to go. All you religious people can pray if you want

They have tried that, but nothing works. There are 8 major fires in my province right now. They have made fire barriers, but this fire has jumped 150 ft barriers. They say over 200 homes were lost last night, still trying to find out which ones though.

It's pretty scary when the fire department pretty much admits that there is no way we can stop this unless it rains. We have about 400 firefighters and 200 or so people from teh army here now. Supposed to be another 1000 or so from the army arriving soon. But we are pretty much at the mercy of the wind and rain.
