It's even worse than the last big fire we had 4 years ago.  San Diego county lost over 2000 homes then.  We may loose even more this time.  The wind is blowing up to 35 mph gusts.  In some of the hills it has got up to 60 mph.  Due to the winds and smoke, the planes could not do their water drops...  They finally were able to get in the air late this afternoon.

I'm safe now, but it is burning rather closer to me than I like!  They just ordered evacs for Scripps Ranch, which is less than 2 miles away.   The homes that are at the highest risk are near the canyons.  We are far from those, so I feel pretty safe.
