It's still a disaster out here. While daybreak in a couple of hours will bring the winds; it will also give us a chance to work out what happened overnight. I'm hearing that we may get 6 or so fixed-wing aircraft to help drop water. If that's true, that will be a big help. They are reporting that one fire is 5% contained and the other is still 0% contained.
I've been at Qualcomm Stadium overnight and am now home for a rest period. (I just happen to live a 1/2 mile down the street from the stadium). We've got lots of people sheltering at the stadium and the community is really coming together to get donations, lending a hand and supporting each other.
They are reporting that there are currently more people displaced in San Diego County than there were in all of Hurricane Katrina - we have several hundreds of thousands evacuated at the moment.
If you pray, please pray HARD. We've already lost 600 structures and these many fires (including the two largest ones) are headed right towards areas which are more densely populated. The Witch Fire in the northern part of the county is now causing evacuations all the way west to the ocean, literally.
