Quote - Yep close to San Diego..the problem is that they are running out of places to put the evacuees.

 

I can believe that!
We just had a samll fire break out at the end of our block, in a dry creek bed. Luckily there were two fire engines available to put it out. With being so far away from all the other fires, I wonder how this got started.

I hear that one of the major power trunks bringing Power into San Diego, from Arizona is down due to the fire. If utilities start breaking down, it'll get nasty. I made sure we have abnout 5 days worth of food and drinking water if thig get ugly... may need more.

Dajadues, that was nasty and totally uncalled for. 
Malibu, where the rich houses are is atually not affected all that much any more. It just happens to get a fair amount of press coverage.
There are plenty of poor people in Southern California too, and the extent of the fire damage is a lot worse then one or two large houses burning down.
For example, City of Ramona, down in San Diego, entire city of some 35,000 people has been evacuated. It is a little desert city with a lot of agriculture. Not very many rich people there. Lot of little more rural communities and people without fire insurance are affected.

Also, the smoke is affecting milions of people around here. At least half of the southland is covered in smoke and ash, air quality so bad you can barely see a block away. I'm wondering about evacuees and homeless people, I hope there's an indoor place for them to take shelter.

I went outside for about 30 min, and by the time I came back, I was congested, and my mouth was actually dry and full of ashes. I could feel my teeth grind the sand, dust, ash, whatever it is.
