indeed. just feel bad that SW Cali is always on fire.

Are most of these man started or is it just from the dry weather and heat?

Well the Cedar Fire 4 years ago was some idiot but so far this one seems natural.

Just saw one of our Local Newsmen Larry Himmel report from his own home burning down! It was rather intense and heart wrenching to watch. Damn.

that sucks.

I remember hearing a report on ABC news or 20/20 last year about a man who faxed the fax machine in his house from his office that read, God Bless This House, his home was the only one that didn\'t burn down. Not that I am saying GOD watches over you like that but it was interesting to hear none-the-less.

How far is the blaze from the Leith abode?

Well it\'s about 15-20 miles away from the north but like 25-30 miles away down in the south east. But the wind is totally blowing the other way now and we have 2 major freeways that form a fireblock basically all around us.

We have not been informed of impending evac and do not expect to be. :fingers crossed:
Thanks though. I am making my flight Wed. night wildfires or not.

Wow! Just heard that every hotel room in San Diego is filled and the airport has opened one of the terminals as a place for passengers coming into S.D. that have no where to go to due to evacuated areas and loss of homes.
So far an estimate of 250,000 people have been evacuated and the Govenator just addressed the Public.

This is kinda crazy.

I go to San Diego State University and its pretty shitty outside - basically everytime I have gone outside my eyes and throat start burning - the campus is closed atleast today and tomorrow like a lot of other colleges in SD.  

One of my roomates\' old neighborhoods was evacuated this morning - by Poway - and I guess at least 30 homes have been destroyed in that neighborhood alone.  There are at least 6 fires raging throughout the county. Apparently these are the worst fires ever in CA because of the huge area they cover and they say they probably won\'t have the fires under control until Wedneday or even into Thursday. It\'s so bad this year because we have only gotten 2 1/2 inches of rain in all year whereas the average rainfall is 8 inches by now.  

Anyway, I just thought I would let you in on all the info I know just in case any of you were wondering about details... the fires seem to still be moving towards the city and the coast but they\'re not too close as of now.  Apparently Bush has promised government aid and we\'ll see how it goes this time...I just don\'t know where we will evacuate to if it does reach closer to the coast because we are surrounded on all sides...I hope they have a plan!  
I\'m definitely wishing I was back in Vermont right now...I feel like I\'m in a burning paradise.
