Was just woken at 11:30 our mountain is burning and has gotten worse.

We just don't have the fires on this side of the country like they do out west. It would be akin to the south having a major blizzard. We don't have the equipment to take care of that. I've seen Atlanta paralyzed by a solid 4" of snow.
Agreed after a 4ft snowfall here you can drive anywhere 5 or 6 hours .
