Stay safe, DK. Hopefully for these evacuations are mostly precautionary and you won't suffer any damage.

Watching morning news. Several homes destroyed but amazing work by fire crews prevented more loss. The web site has not lifted evacuation order for
our street yet. We are chillin at daughters house in San Diego. Only one death reported in Carlsbad in a homeless camp. Hope no more.

Stone Brewery was evacuated. They've lifted some of the evacuation orders, especially on Del Dios Highway and south of 78 (as of a few minutes ago).
The wind shifted and you can smell the wildfires as far north as LA County.

We live next to Cal State on Twin Oaks Valley Rd. No rush now that we are with family and our cats are happy. The graduation ceremonies have been rescheduled for next week.

A terrible situation just seen on FOX News, and to think that this is the beginning of the dry season for California. What a mess. We pray for no
more fatalities and for the safety of the firefighters.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Looks like we can go home today. It will be good to get back. Our cats did great with the travel and changes. Perhaps they can go camping with us?

We fought The Witch Fire outside of Vally Center in I believe 2009. The big difference was that fire occurred in late October, Socals normal fire
season, crazy to see this fire activity this early. Our fire season has arrived almost two months early with a record setting fuel moisture deficit.
Its amazing how fast the native vegetation grows back in the Socal foothills creating the same volatile energy release component. Be prepared,
unfortunately we are just getting started. Hope all things considered that all of you are OK. Be safe

On the way in to Old Man's today they asked us specifically if we were carrying any kind of fire-making device. I said I had a camp stove and one can
of gas for making fish tacos. They laughed and let me in.

Drove from Tecate to Ensenada yesterday afternoon, no evidence of burned brush or fire remnants, clear, blue skies all the way down only visible smoke
was haziness over Ensenada Bay.

Came home yesterday(Sunday)... The mountain between us in San Marcos and Escondido is all blackened. When you drive I-15 through Escondido you can see
the whole east side of the mountain from the new hospital south to Del Dios are burned. The fire came right to the edge of this apartment complex and
the university parking lot we are next to. No issues at all in here. I closed up the windows tight when I evacuated Wednesday.
