Re: [californiadisasters] 2008 Freeway Complex, 11/15/2010, 9:00 am

The evolution of these fires was such that we who were following them were
hard-pressed to figure out which fire we were hearing about/seeing on the
news (media was also having a time with this). By the time we thought we'd
worked it out, the fires had merged.
