I may ever see over the rest of my life.
We were in dire straits, and finally the Calvary showed up...and boy did they ever!
It was a sight to see, that I will never forget.
We were in the center and saw it all.
Huge fire fighting planes, that looked like whales with wings, every kind of fire fighting helicopters made over the last 30+ years. Some carrying drop down hoses that suck up water from a nearby water source, then spew it out over burning areas. Some that looked like big dragonfly, many with huge buckets with which to scoup up water and drop on burning areas, and planes that looked like crop dusters, but that dusted fire retardent.
Seriously Wow.
Thank you whichever San Diego politicians that authorized the "go spend" the money for these life saving machines and the humans that pilot them.
Much of this drama of man versus nature happened directly over our house.
Unfortunately, I stink with pics, and how to make a video. Maybe one of my neighbors captured some of this.
Regardless, normally, I'm pizzed off at our government for wasting tax payers money.
Today. I am thankful. That somewhere in San Diego, there is/was a politician who really saved lives and property by putting tax payers money to good use!
Honestly, it was like a War of the World scenario. ALL of the fire fighters, on the ground, and in the air, were relentless. They just kept coming and coming, and there was NO giving up.
I truly, am in awe.
Dee who is amazingly still in Fallbrook.
