    Just talked to stepmom. They're evacuating. It's not mandatory in their neighborhood YET, but some of the highways near them are blocked and others are bumper-to-bumper. Smoke is in the air and my brother's asthma is being affected. My dad was running around packing up photo albums and other irreplaceable things. They were so close to moving to Austin TX, too, planning on leaving in January!

    Please cross your fingers for them and for ALL of you who live and have loved ones in all the affected areas!

    Anyone know if Encinitas was affected?

    God, good luck Shot! And SexKitten, and Bella21 and everyone else who's there!

    Nina, I found this:
    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/m...bn22fire3.html

    It says this specifically:

    The Witch fire is rapidly burning in two directions – to the west and to the south. It has crossed Interstate 15 at Lake Hodges into Rancho Bernardo. “I think it will go to the ocean before it stops,” Metcalf said, which means the fire would pass through Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Encinitas.
    I hope that's not bad news for you, but I fear it might be.

    Bella is probably in the worst position for all the san diego SWers.

    It looks like it's snowing here from all the ash. I'm going to grab my nomex and go volunteer some more since they are closing all the corporate parks.

    This is far worse than the last time. It's really spreading fast

    It's not bad news for me personally, but for a few people I know it definitely will be.

    Its really scary around here. I woke up this morning having a bad feeling because I read the news yesterday saying the winds are going to be picking up the next 3 days. I texted Bella to see if shes ok because they don't want alot of people making calls around here to clog up the system. She just texted me back and said she's packing.

    I can't believe I still have school today? I'm in a safer part of the city than most yet will all the jumping fires you never know where it could land. The wind is really bad. This makes me really sad. Everyone down here please stay safe and leave your house to be safe if you need to.

    Its a map of the fires so you know where your friends and family members are.

    I'm trying not to burst into tears here.... fuck, nevermind. My parents live in encinitas and very close to rancho santa fe. I haven't evacuated yet, but I'm all set to go. Some of my friends have already evacuated.

    You guys, please say a prayer for my boyfriend C and his kids and his mother. They live in the areas affected by the fire and he said they were OK this morning, just pray that God protects them, their homes and business.

    God, I pray

    Lunch time!

    The damn fires are heading west towards the ocean so there are a lot of populated areas in the way.

    I live in PB, so no real worry about my place getting burnt. I paid some dudes to evac my moms place as she's still in hospital.

    Yea I figured ^^^ would be in the biggest danger.

    There are like 8 fires going in the county. What's amazing me is that all these homes with the fire proof roofs are going up easy.

    Hope you're ok there Bella, if you need help moving shit, might be able to help.

    Taking a few hours to kick back then going back up in the evening.

    Air quality is pretty bad up north, too. not so bad down here at all. It's all heading west, not south, from my POV.

    Air quality not too bad but I just dumped the garbage and I could smell the ash in the air. It smells like burning even down here. Coughed a little and it wasn't something I would want to be out in. I'm near the gayborhood too.

    If anyone needs help PM me. I'll be around today and tonight.
