I just went for a jog, and the ash kept making me gag. I hope this gets resolved soon...best of luck to the people living right next to the fire.

Seems like none are responding to any of these fire threads...maybe they can't reach a computer?



Here's to hoping everyone is alright, good luck fellas.

I heard 600 last night, 700 homes this morning when I loged on at work, but 1200? I had not heard that, I guess thats what happens when your busy working, an additional 500 family's lost their homes. My thoughts/prayers are with them all.

By day three, the dozen wildfires had burned more than 1,200 homes and businesses, and the destruction may only be the start for the region. With forecasts calling for hotter temperatures and fierce wind gusts, the flames were proving nearly impossible to fight.

At least 346,000 homes were evacuated in San Diego County alone, sheriff's officials said. But the total number could be much higher, and state officials were still struggling to estimate how many people had fled.

Here's to hoping everyone is alright, good luck fellas.

Im having to deal with shitty air to breathe. The skys look like a nuclear winter scene in a movie... The Devore Fire is completly blocking out my "sun-ability" here. The gusts are about 40+ mph, and its a scary dry wind too. No moisture whatsoever.

You guys alright? Anyone here evacuated from their homes? My parents are away from the house in San Diego, but I'm getting pretty nervous from looking at these maps from the news :?

Remembering the fire from a few years back, the sky over San Diego must look pretty apocalyptic. Any one with pics?

Hope you guys stay safe, and I wish you and your families the best.
