Yucaipa Fire Approaches Houses in Chapman Heights

The fire currently burning on the north side of Oak Glen Road appears to be approaching the approaching the houses along Blue Grass Road in the Chapman Heights housing development. CDF firefighters are out in force, and there is a helicopter and fire-retardant-dropping plane trying to battle it back.

I hope those of you that live in the neighborhood below the Jerry Lewis soccer fields are safe.

These photos were taken just before 5pm (click for larger image):




6:30 PM Update: It looks like the fire is mostly out, and it didn't reach any houses. Thank you CDF!

Did you just feel that?

That was a whole lot of shaking a few minutes ago!

USGS is saying the earthquake was a magnitude 5.0 centered under San Bernardino. If you felt it, you should tell them.

Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: January 2-8

It's the first week of 2009, the sun is shining and there are things to do and places to go! Actually, there is a bit of a lull in entertainment after the holidays, but things should be picking up again over the next couple of weeks.

And in local music news:
According to the News Mirror, local band Idasas (featuring Yucaipan Rikki Sterling who got an on-camera intervention for his drinking problem) was on a reality show called Rock Bottom on "National TV" back in October on upstart music channel Fuse TV (channel 120 on our Time Warner cable). You can watch several Idasas clips from the show on the FuseTV web site, including a bit called "People Stripping" (which is PG-13) and a discussion with their old manager & promoter. There's a bit more on their appearance published last October in the Press-Enterprise. There's no indication on their Myspace profile where Idasas will be playing gigs, but they've shown up fairly often at Angel's, so keep an eye on the schedule if you'd like to hear them play (And please News Mirror editor, proofread - the band's URL is not myspace/idasa, it's www.myspace.com/idasas. And you could have actually mentioned what station the show was on - it took me 30 seconds of Googling to find the info. Or, you know, your reporter could have asked.)
