So the footage on the news last night. Scary stuff.

Well this morning we have Blue Skies above w/ a faint smell of smoke. You can see the smoke lines out in the areas where the blazes are, but I am thinking we are totally safe now. The wind has died so I doubt we will get embers blown over to us now. My buddy Tim thinks his parents may have lost their home but we will not know until they let people back into the area. It\'s not on the burnt house list so that is good.

I feel real good that this will be taken care of. The Govenator actually put me at ease with his talk and he\'s all over the place here. I can\'t believe I actually am impressed with this guy right now.

I know - he is actually really reassuring...last night I watched two different fires in opposite directions raging for hours - I think I was out there from around 2-4 am...a bunch of drunk college kids watching crazy fires crawl towards us (they are further away that they look..) It was a pretty eerie feeling...a lot of people were crying and freakin out - it was crazy. But anyway, we\'re still okay down here....let\'s see how it goes..

I just flew home to Burlington today from San Diego because all schools (including SDSU) have been shut down atleast through the end of this week. Last I heard more than a million people have been evacuated. But the winds are dying down - when I left this morning at 6 am it was really smokey because the air is just sitting still downtown. It\'s gross - raining ash. There are more fires now and random ones just keep starting. They say they probably won\'t have them under control until this weekend - its supposed to rain somewhere in the mountains i guess - Anyway...I\'m glad I\'m outa there and honestly, this was the absolute perfect time for this to happen (for me anyway...) I got to escape the nasty smoke to come home and it just so happens its this weekend : ) ...Freakout here I come! <---so excited.
