Best Place to Get News on OC Fires

The Orange County Santiago fires continue to head east along the edge of the canyon towards Silverado. The state fire authorities are reporting that we are 30% contained with 27,000 acres burned so far.

The frustrating thing is that its hard to get information about the Orange County fire specifically. The tv news focused on Malibu for the longest time and seemed more concerned that the filming of 24 was delayed because of the fire than the fact that ours was raging. My parents, who live in Ohio, didn’t even know that the fire was anywhere near us because national news focused on Malibu and San Diego.

The best place to get updates has been the Orange County Register. They have blogs, photos, video, and maps to make sure we know what’s going on. When in doubt go with the paper, tv is just too sensational and focuses on really trivial details and information. You can also submit your personal fire photos and video.

Maybe my bias against tv news is showing just a bit.
