Does This Look Familiar?

Here we go again! If this does not remind you of another California wildfire, have a look at this photo from 2003. Can you believe that this fire started almost 16 years to the day after another famous fire in the Bay Area?

At this point, from the satellite imagery, the 2007 fires do not seem as big as the 2003 fires, but I guess the difference is that this fire is in populated areas. Not to diminish the loss, but this disaster has destroyed far fewer homes than the 1991 Oakland Hills Fire - so far.

More fire photos here.
