San Diego Fires

[Ponine]

I think there were a few lost in the wee hours of the morning, but having a young person, I am trying not to watch the news.

I get what i get from the internet, or other folks.

if thats the way it goes, I could be evacuated today.
I'm told that I am over reacting, but whatever.

Whatever. If they evacuate your area, you are doing what you are being told to do. Or you don't feel safe at home then leave - it's your sanity/safety.

We have a friend out of town, very much inland downtown, and family out in the beach.
Its that looming feeling of packing that just defeats me.

Just start putting important stuff in bags and put them by the door.

Thanks everyone!! We're home for now. But the car's still packed. We seemed to have just lucked out - fires all around us but not here. We may go back down to Coronado again tonight.

Ponine - if it's nearing you pack up and go. Maddy was getting really scared. We could have come home last night but she felt really unsafe so we stayed. Better to give her a little piece of mind.

And what I learned from yesterday - keep a full tank of gas in your car. The gas lines were fairly long here.

Glad y'all are okay, katiesue.

Glad to hear you and Maddie are safe and sound and back home Katie!

[Not Afraid]

Katie and Madz, I'm glad you're back at home!

Just heard from Capt. Jack - he has no internet but is fine.

Has anyone heard from MouseWife? I know there are fires headed to the general area she's lives but I'm not quite sure exactly which part of that area she lives in.

Relieved to hear you guys are doing okay.

From the LA Times:

As temperatures and winds again rise, officials say containment of major blazes is days away at the earliest. An estimated 1,000 homes have been lost in San Diego County.
