San Diego Fires

Just a head’s up for friends and family outside of CA. We’re not really in the path of the San Diego wild fires, but there’s plenty of friends and co-workers that are being asked to evacuate. We’ve smelled smoke since last night around dinner. I guess as the sun comes up we’ll see where things are at and if the wind shifts. If anything happens I’ll try to post it here.

[UPDATE]: Got word that all personnel in my department should stay home unless needed. Amy’s work is covered in grime and they’re evacuating all the horses to the Del Mar fairgrounds next to there so she’s coming home. I guess this would be the opposite of a snow day?

[UPDATE 2]: Fires still raging out of control. The firefighters are basically staying out the way of the walls of flame and just cleaning up after it and containing any spread at the edges. The wind has shifted to almost straight west so the smell is gone and the air is clear here at our home. We’re fine, we won’t evacuate unless some other fire starts up.
