FIRES in SAN DIEGO COUNTY I-5 & 15 slow or closed today
Best to avoid travel through San Diego as we have fires in Carlsbad (near Palomar Airport Rd), Camp Pendleton, Bonsall, Fallbrook and Escondido
reported. I-5 was closed and is now badly backed up. I would say all main roads are in bad shape. Hwy. 78 is at a crawl as well.
This photo taken about an hour ago from hilltop near La Costa (Melrose/ Rancho Santa Fe Rd) towards the west. Legoland evacuated...

The fire at College Blvd and River Road is burning in the San Luis Rey River bed --- just a couple miles from where my son and family live. I just
talked with him and he said it seems that the Santa Ana winds are dying down, which is a good thing for fighting the fires.
What I found on the San Diego local NBC news website is that there are evidently 7 different fires. I hope the winds stay down.

I am on the 15 freeway just south of Fallbrook. Radio is reporting freeway is closed. We move 5 feet every few minutes. Made a quick trip south of
Tecate Mexico this morning, just a 10 minute border wait going north when I crossed at 1:00

FOX reporting more breaking news....Fires are forcing evacuation of nuclear power plant. Many homes reported destroyed now...over 30. Dry conditions
and easterly winds are not helping. What a disaster.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

My wife was over at the Carlsbad fire earlier. I'll post some photos soon.
I'm about 2 miles from the San Luis Rey river fire in O'side. No evacuations in my area. I've noticed the wind has calmed and is now out of the
west, cooling things down a tad.
From my house I can see the Pendleton Fire and it's a beast.
I can also see the San Marcos fire plume and that's pretty gnarly as well. Lots of homes over there.
Great job firefighters and local/county agency's!!!
It's gonna be hotter tomorrow, says the weather report.

Well... shortly after posting, a new fire started in the hills right south if where I live. I was told to evacuate so the kitties and I joined with
Baja Angel in a parking lot. We are watching the flames now.

Are you east or west of the fire in the San Luis Rey river bed? My son and family are about 2 miles east. We very much hope the winds stay DOWN.

I'm 1.5-2 miles SOUTH of the San Luis Rey river bed where the fire is. From the looks of the smoke plume, I'm guessing the firefighters are making
progress.
What I saw last was a shift of the winds back towards the east from the ocean to the inland. Hopefully it'll burn back over itself and provide some
relief. But that's in the direction of your son and family, depending on where they are. Things seem to be getting under control though Diana, I
wouldn't worry too much.
The O'side fire chief just said the Luis Rey fire is about to burn towards the north, says channel 7 literally 1 minute ago. I'll keep you posted.
Can't really trust any reports right now, including mine.

He and family are just north of Guajome Park and he also assures me that I should not worry.
Of course I won't worry, yes, I won't worry, well, my 11 year old grandson called me and said not to worry, and I lied and told him grandma would not
worry --- OF COURSE I WILL WORRY.
But I also know if it became necessary they would get out and all I care about is their personal safety!
Thanks for any updates as they do at times try to protect grandma!
