Several of my pledge Brothers live up and down the coast.
I have yet to hear from any of them.
Good thoughts and wishes to all.

A friend of mine live in San Diego not too far from SDSU. He said he's fine for right now and that he's in a zone that luckily hasn't had too many effects from the fires. He did say that the situation could get worse today and that he'd have to evacuate in that case. I told him to drive out to Atlanta and stay with us if things got bad (although it might take him a few days to get here!) since we're closer to him in terms of proximity compared to his parents who are in Orlando. He told us that all the highways that lead out of the city have been burned.

What are they doing with all the animals at the San Diego Zoo? Has anyone heard anything?

The damage is roughly 1800+ structures, tons of those are homes. :[ You stay classy San Diego, Qualcomm was an amazing safe haven that was well organized, even though they had too much food [not always a bad thing!]

I tried to go visit my parents today and got suck on the 57 freeway right by Brea for about an hour and a half until people realized the freeway was closed and started making Uturns and going up the freeway on ramps to the streets. I tried to get around the freeway closures by taking side streets but they were all closed. After 2 hrs I just drove back to my place. Fortunately for now south Orange County hasnt been affected but watching the fires was incredible.

it was so bizarre going back to SD after the '07 fires... you could still smell it in the air.

I hope everyone near the current fires get out safely!

We were actually able to see the flames in the Corona fire from the 2nd sory of our house. 8 miles away from here, but the winds are blowing east to west.

My sister is still under evacuation orders. Her house is caught in the middle between the Brea fire and the Carbon Canyon/Yorba Linda fire. I hope the winds stay calm so the firefighters can get a handle on the fires.
All the schools in her area are closed until further notice. My hubby has been deployed for work. It's pretty bad out here.

Cousin lives in Santa Monica and has had a sore throat all week. She said that depending on where she drives, her car is often covered with ashes. She is dying to go north for some cooler weather and clean air.
