From these shots of the latest SoCal fires over at boston.com, real life imitating video games.  (But with fewer super mutants.)

I hadn’t been paying too much attention to this round of fires, since even though I’ve got friends and family down there, I’m used to the “oh crap everything is burning down” news from down there several times a year.  However, I am hearing about some friends of family losing their homes and property in the fires– this looks like a worse year than usual.  As these photos from a friend show, the fires got right up into the inhabited areas.
