San Diego People: Are you OK?

[G5orbust]

In San Diego, there are fires burning out of control everywhere, from Rancho Sanata Fe to Borego. Is everyone ok?

Im fine, but I want to know how everyone in San Diego is doing.

[applemacdude]

All this reminds me of the Oakland Hills Fire.....

[G5orbust]

yeah those are cool. Over where I am, the sun is literally red. Like, if you drew a circle with a red marker or colored pencil, it would look like that.

Damn soot and CO2 is making me have a headache...

by the way, I have pictures of my own, though not a cool as yours (mine I just took 2 minutes ago, so everyones gone). Ill post em if you want them.

[Rower_CPU]

Yeah, if you've some you want to share, go ahead. Show the rest of the MR folks how crazy it is down here...;)

crap, its about to get hairer over here. The fire reached Mission Gorge Trails and is closing in. I might have to evac soon, though my dad says we wont as the fire is too far away still to force us to.

Where do you live, Rower?

By the way, Ill take as many pictures as I can if I have to evac. (flames, soot, etc.)

Ill keep you all posted.

PS: No school and no work tomorrow for anyone!

I'm kiddy corner from Qualcomm, east of I-15 and north of 8, La Mirage apartments. I'm going to step outside in a bit and check out the Mission Trails area...I can see it from the backside of the hill up here.

I haven't heard about SDSU yet, but I assume we'll be off tomorrow, too.

ahh, I know exactly where you are. Im right near SDSU, so Ill keep you updated if anything happens to this area.

Yeah, we've got to watch a couple areas right now. It doesn't look like it's going to come straight down I-15 anymore, since they got it stopped in northern Tierrasanta. But out towards you, in the Mission Gorge area is another matter...

I went down our road a ways to look over towards Mission Trails around 7pm. There were a bunch of people by the road looking out that way. They said they had seen flames back around 6-6:30, but nothing anymore.

Hopefully things die down somewhat tonight and the CDF crews have a chance to get an upperhand on all the fronts.

I know some people in the UTC area (San Diego) who left the area. I don't think they expected fire to suddenly jump the freeway, but they didn't like the air they were breathing. Here in Los Angeles the sky has a thick layer of smoke from the fires north and northeast of us and the colors in the sky at dusk were definitely eerie.

Where are you getting your info from? I can never get specific enough info from the TV news, and I haven't found much good online either...

Hope that hotspot lays low for you.

The news conference about 2 or 3 hours ago. Showed the area as an "active hot spot" and that they hope that the winds will lay low, but they expect them to kick back up to full force at around 3 or 4AM and start this whole mess over again.

I'm up in the Santa Clarita area, it's raining ashes, they say it's hit Pico Canyon and if it jupms the 5 it will be in Valencia. Weird watching the news then going to my backyard and see the news there too.

If you're looking for info... I'm living at www.signonsandiego.com . We live about 150 miles east in Yuma, AZ, but my family owns a cabin at Mount Laguna (which is east of where the fire is... for the time being). Our skies have trails of brown smoke coming clear from those fires near San Diego.
