Shawna Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 that's a very scary thing for me... my folks live in north San Diego county and I just read about the big fire out there. It's been extremely windy here in AZ since about 3 a.m. so my guess is it's very windy there, as well... no good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 my good friend (who I went to New Orleans with) lost her family home in the Cedar fire a few years ago. It's only been in the past 4 months that they've been able to get their home rebuilt and begin moving into it, and tonight they had to evacuate all their stuff again. And Mom says the winds are about 60 mph out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 They are evacuating two miles from my house. I am begining to think that there are too many fires for them all to be an accident, wind or no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 We are in the fire evacuation zone but there's gridlock everywhere so we are hunkered down at home as the fires are a little to the northeast of us but moving our way. We have some blue sky to the south of us and dense smoke to the north of us. We have a fine coating of soot and ash everywhere. We're packed up and ready to leave if the wind pushes the fire closer to us. There's 8 fires in San Diego county right now. On the tv, we're finally seeing the planes and helicopters attacking the fire lines dropping retardant. The winds were too strong for the last 24 hours for them to go up.

Shawna Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 my folks were evacuated a few hours ago. I haven't heard from them since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Things aren't much better this morning.... some are worse. We were in the mandatory evacuation area, but I believe that was more due to smoke (it was awful). But there are more (new) fires burning this morning.

MarcM Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well, the fires up by my house are moving away from from us, but the wind can change that at any moment. I think we will be OK, though. The fire guys are saying that the three fires in my area are expected to join up and create one big fire sometime today or tomorrow. They say that is good, though, as it presents one big front to fight instead of several. We are on 12 hour shifts at work until further notice. I am on a response team, so I will probably be going out to either Malibu or Santa Clarita today. Should be interesting. Old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."

Lucky Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Marc, I hate to take you away from the importance of what you are dealing with, but are you privy to any info regarding the San Diego fires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 No, Lucky, I do not have any inside information on the fires down there. I have been keeping my hands pretty full with the stuff going on in my jurisdiction. I feel for all of the people that are being evacuated down there (I have an aunt and uncle who have been evacuated)and who have lost property.

Uncle Joe Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Just saw the report by a TV journalist. He was positioned 50 feet from his own house which had all but burnt to the ground. Nothing left. Very sad. PS: He was just happy to report that everyone, including all pets, had gotten out alive.

edna Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 All our best thoughts and energies to all of you who live or have relatives and friends there... They don´t seem to talk very much about it in Spanish TV... except to talk about the Hollywood stars who have houses detroyed by the fire...
