Hi all, I was just able to get online. We evacuated from our home in south poway in the early afternoon and we are in point loma. I fear that many of my friends in scripps ranch have lost their homes just by hearing the street names on the news. We definitely are not going back home tonight but I'm confident that our home will still be standing. We left it with the windows closed and we have stucco all around and tile roofing. Point Loma is covered in ash and the air is so dry and smoky. Please say a prayer for all of us down her in San Diego. We are having a really rough time.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh my...of COURSE we'll pray for you. Thank Heavens that you're SAFE!!!! Where are you staying tonight?

Do you happen to know if Hill Havens Estate is in San Diego???

[ladyesk]

We will be staying with relatives in point loma tonight. My kids are already tucked in bed. Hopefully we can go back home tomorrow.
There are a lot of "Estates" around here but I haven't heard of Hill Havens. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist here though.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Your most precious possessions are safe and sound aren't they? God bless you. Give em a hug from all of us, OK?

[ladyesk]

I will. Thanks

I'm sorry for lagging --- listening radio --- yes RC has cots but there's more people than cots etc.

[bonesmccoy]

that's awful... Red Cross should be able to get some cots out there...

[onyx]

I think they're trying, but no one anticipated the flood of people.

He lives off of the 805 in the scripps ranch area behind miramar, west of Pomerado road. He expects a total loss, as the reports from the neighborhood aren't so good. He does have pretty extensive insurance, and was able to get lots of unreplaceable things out of the house.

New 10/27 live thread for SoCal L.A. area

[Central Scrutiniser]

A correction, he is 2.5 miles east of the 15, just south of Pomerado Road. I have another brother that lives about 6 miles or so north of him in Poway, his area is still ok, they aren't too worried.

The guy walked away unscratched. ,/i>

Yes, thank God for that. One bright spot in a dismal day.

I was amazed when I woke up Sunday morning that this huge local story wasn't already a major national story.

It was a shock to me there was no thread on the San Diego firestorms.
