I'm only a mile or two from Scripps Ranch but luckily we haven't had to evacuate. Mira Mesa High School is an evacuation site so as long as they don't have to move everyone from there we'll probably be okay.
My dad and I drove down to Mission Gorge to check on one of his employees homes but we couldn't get past Princess View. His neighborhood was evacuated but he's stuck in Virginia. Hopefully his home's still standing.
Driving down the freeway it was amazing how charred everything was; but, there were still plenty of trees standing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we've seen the worst of it. Yesterday it seemed like it was burning everywhere but our neighborhood. It was north, east and west of here.
I'm getting restless being stuck at home though. My office is closed but I just keep thinking of all the work I could be getting done. If the roads weren't closed I'd likely try to go to work!
On top of everything else, my dad had to take my mom to the airport this morning so she could fly back to Wisconsin. My grandmother died this weekend.
