  The fire that was reported burning in the boonies yesterday is now a raging inferno. There are now 9 fires burning throughout San Diego county and it is bad. Many homes have burned to the ground and 250,000 people have been evacuated. Many towns to the east of us have been evacuated and we are waiting to hear if we will have to. So far, so good but you never know what a new will bring. The weathermen say the Santa Anas will continue to blow through Wednesday so we are all bracing ourselves here. All schools were declared closed very early this morning and will stay closed through tomorrow. It's now 7pm here and my family's all packed and ready to head to an evacuation centre when we hear thd call. Pray for us all here.

  Thanks blue. It's gotten dark now and we're scoping the skyline to see if we can see the fire. When it was light out, we could see the plum of smoke in the distance.
