For those of you who don't know, I live in San Diego where the wild fires are burning out of control. Although, my family and I are at no risk of any immediate danger, as we live close to the city, other parts of our county have been devastated. The air quality has been extremely poor. Schools and business have shut down and people have been pretty much been told to stay home. It's crazy to imagine that almost a half a million people have been evacuated. It's been a tense and sad couple of days here. The last fire that blew across the San Diego region was the Cedar fire in 2003. Just days before this fire broke out, the papers were printing up the "anniversary" stories of that fire. And then this happens..... The fires are still at 0-5 percent containment with no sign of letting up soon. It's going to be another long night for the folks at the evacuation centers and the bone tired fire fighters. Let's hope for some let up.....
Talk to you soon, Karin
