+Sparrowhawk Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 THE best place for news I have found is in this chat thread: right here It's full of links to good news sites and sources. (Ignore the occasional obnoxious person, they always pop up in those discussion threads.) Anyone got any others? Quote Link to comment

+Nochipra Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 If you check out the Podcacher podcast Sonny has done a quick little recording about what is going on around their home area. I posted in the thread on their forums that our good wishes and prayers are with them as they face possibly having to leave their home. Quote Link to comment
+Yellow ants Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone got any others? KPBS are posting short headlines to their twitter page @ http://twitter.com/kpbsnews The Fark thread is amazing, with transcripts of the scanner traffic. Quote Link to comment

+duganrm Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 This is the main one I have been watching (of course I also have the TV and/or radio on as well). It is only for the San Diego fires. http://fireblog.signonsandiego.com/ Quote Link to comment

+Sparrowhawk Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Satellite view of the fire very impressive. Also, Fark.com is posting one dadgum good discussion thread after another monitoring the fire... and they are getting news and updates that are faster and better quality than any of the media outlets. Also... for the Groundspeak mods: Fark is no longer doing non-family-friendly pics - if ya know what I mean, so no worry anymore about linking to something that is not worse than PG-13 from here.
