Anthony,
That is getting pretty close to you. Time to go.
My thoughts go out to yours and all the families in the area.
Get what you need and get the hell out of there.
Let's hope those winds diminish quickly.
Those Fire/Police/Rescue teams are doing some pretty crazy things trying to control what they can out there.  Talk about selfless.
Good luck.

I hate fires!! This summer we had disaster, sudden increase in wind speed and a group of firefighters were trapped, 5 dead immediately, 6 more later due to heavy burns, only 1 survived. Still nobody told him about his friends. Sad story and although I didn't know these guys, my eyes were full of tears. :'(

I hope everything will be OK with you and a family. Stay safe.

Well, update on us is....We evacted out of our area to Hubby's parent's house (in Eastlake/Otay Lakes area) last night.  Got evacted out of their house this morning and went to the Navy base on Coronado.  We returned to our house (and in-laws to their's) this evening.  Winds dying down, and changing direction, so We are relatively Safe.....as long as it doesn't change again!

More help is on the way. We followed three fire trucks & crews from Snohomish Co, Wa down the I-5 from Renton to Tacoma this afternoon. They are heading to SoCal.

I understand there are more packing up to head down there as well. So hang in there.
