Travis, where exactly is LaMesa and Vista in all this mess?
This is terrible, and I feel for all of the people down there.

I can't keep up with the names of all the towns and neigbhorhoods, so I don't want to start rumors that may frighten people.

So far, for sure, the area between Ramona and Poway is burning or threatened, Scripps Ranch is burning, and Fallbrook in North County has fires. Many others, but I need to list the area names.

La Mesa is ~18 miles southwest of Ramona which is the site of the Crest Fire. Vista is west and slightly north of this fire, probably about same distance. (Best I can figure from my road atlas)
