Now they are reporting largest evacuation in California history.....
The US Air Force flies U-2’s, Predator’s, Reaper, and Global Hawk UAV’s out of Beale AFB north of Sacramento CA and Creech AFB, outside of Las Vegas NV. I bet they launch ten training sorties a day.

The USAF should be directed to immediately provide US NORTHCOM, FEMA, DHS, and the State of California as much support as they can handle including downlink vans, personnel, etc as required. The UAV’s could also “fire” their lasers to pinpoint the exact latitude and longitude of the hottest spots in the fires for precise application of ground crews or aerial tankers.
Let’s see..750,000 people on the move, 2 dead, and about 1000 homes destroyed, let’s guess they cost 500K a piece, we’re looking at 500 million dollars in destruction, just in the house….how long can this wait? Now, here’s the ultimate irony…the Predators and Reapers are made in San Diego….
