I'm fine, my city is not.




The map above is my own illustration of what's happened so far. The RED shaded areas indicate locations that seem to have burned already. It's not exact, but based on the news reports I'm hearing (and I've been glued to the news lately), it should be fairly accurate. YELLOW outlined areas are evacuated areas, either voluntary or mandatory. The big GREEN dot in the middle indicates my location..... while still far from the fires, I do live in a canyon with lots of dry dead brush. One spark is all it takes.

I spent much of the day at a relief center in La Mesa, making peanut butter sandwiches, bagging sandwiches, and taking in donated items. Pictures later, maybe, if I feel like it.

Mandatory evacuations in Julian now.

I'm fine, thank you, but I am worried about some other friends. Rumors are going around that the only fatality in San Diego County so far was actually a Kiwanis member.
