What is unusual is the weather for this time of year....normally we are faced with May gray but not this year. It's been unusually hot this year. It
seems like it's getting hotter and hotter...but that would just be a coincidence....

Firefighters rock. That's all I gotta say. Horrific conditions. Multiple fires. Total cooperation between fire agencies. Could've been worse. So
far, no deaths.

Yep Bajaboy, as a surfer, I usually write April and May off and sometimes part of June as "gray and cold" due to the nasty winds. Not this year.
It's hot as hell with none of that onshore wind. Just an observation.
-edit to note wind not onshore like usual this time of year.

They are so not appreciated at times. Kudos to all of them who risk their lives to save the lives and properties of others.

A few weeks ago I was coming down from Mt. Laguna when I was stopped on I8 due to a fire raging up the side of the highway. I sat there in awe
watching the planes drop retardant on the flames while the fire crews lined up. The fire crews looked like an army of ants marching up the steep hill
side with all of their gear. My sincere thanks go out to all the firefighters out there!

Jack wagon
They should hang him from the nearest Tree. But it will probably turn out he is a Marine with P.S.T. D.

Oh how I would've loved to see this engine company take him into custody. I know a few O'side firemen. I'll ask them about this for details.

If he is convicted of arson, he will not do well in prison.

...and the firefighters aren't all Firemen. The ones that you see on TV wearing red coveralls and manning the hoes and shovels ahead of the fire front
are prisoners on work release.

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. |
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.
[Edited on 5-15-2014 by DianaT] |
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.

Was the San Luis Rey Downs horse training facility in Bonsal threatened? I
think that's where the winner of the Kentucky Derby, California Chrome, was trained.
