It seems like half the fucking county is on fire when you see some of the pictures on the news.

Right now the fire is kinda doing an inverted L thing along the 15 and the 52 freeways. I know the fire's about 3 miles away from my house right now, but it's blowing away from Mira Mesa. Death toll last i saw was 7 confirmed deaths with 2 more being investigated.

It appears my family moved at the right time.

Just got word that at ton of people from my High School lost their houses this morning, to the fire in Scripps Ranch, in San Diego. Apparently, that's like, one of four fires burning in Southern California...

Good christ, my roommate went home this weekend too, back to San Diego...

This is just nuts....

every single freeway in San Diego has been closed down over 90% of the length of the freeways.

So wherever you are now, you're gonna stay there until this is over.

Helped a buddy get as much stuff out of his house as possible, before the police threatened to arrest us if we didn't leave, 10 minutes later his house was engulfed. Now I am back at my house doing the same thing because it is rapidly approaching there as well.......

Good Luck Lego. Now we're looking at a total of over 100,000 acres burned just in the past 14 hours in the northern fire. The one in south bay is now at 16,000 acres, and Pendleton is sitting at 10,000. Finally got our fire plane back from San Berdoooo.

I was able to look to the sun directly and see the sun spots on it. The main ones that caused yesterdays solar storm we got...

Luckly we all got friends around here. *sighs*

My home finally got it's share of ash an hour ago, it was the last clear place in the county west of the fires. It's orange and brown right now. I just hope my friends over by grossmont college are able to get away.

You can see it on satelite images even...

They're replaced the SETI satellites in that part of the country with a new technology: Smoke signals.

Seriously though...that sucks. Hope everything goes ok for you EC'ers out there.

All this fire + Supermarket workers on strike =

My Dad wakes me up this morning and goes come look at this... Out the front door the sun is shining bright red. The sky is black with smoke, and off to the south I could see the header from the South Bay(Southernmost) fire burning away.

Now hes off at the firestation, covering almos the entire Point Loma District, he wont likely be home for 3 or 4 days...

On a brighter note CDF supposedly has *some* of its Air Tankers Flying now, but there just arent enough of em to make any real difference.

You see, we have these fucking Pyro's that wait all year for the Santa Ana winds to come up, then they go and torch some fields... Hope they will throw in some Murder charges if they find out someone lit these intentionally.

Another Unsolved Mystery is goin' down in history.

Ouch.

One on my PBEM GMs is working near some of those fires. He posted that two highways near his work place had been shut down, but they hadn't evac'ed the building yet. So, they had to keep working, at least till it gets worse.

That was at around noon. I hope I hear from him soon.

The mayor basically said, "Hey fuckers, this is serious. Don't fucking go to work tommorow, take care of your goddamn kids at home, and most of all STAY OFF THE FUCKING FREEWAYS. It's already hard enough getting emergency vehicles to the fires as is on a SUNDAY. We don't need to add monday traffic to that."

This is also the first time I can ever remember San Diego being a disaster area.

All school districts in SD county have cancelled school tommorow and the Chargers game has been canceled too.

Upwards of 200 houses destroyed just in the city of SD area. And that's a very conservative number.

Hey, how about people who don't live in San Diego but have family there?

Plus, not all of San Diego has been evacuated...just a growing percentage of it. It's just second nature for a lot of people to talk about something like this...

Just for reference, SOE is located right between the 805 and the 15 freeways, on the northern edge of the gray area between the freeways on that map. The Santa Ana winds are carrying the fires toward the west.
