>> I've lived in San DIego since 1972 and have never seen it like this. The only way to describe the conditions here is "Nuclear Winter". I, like most people are staying home today.

My sister and her husband live in Alpine. They are currently on vacation, and they phoned last night to tell me the fires were 2 miles from their home, according to their neighbors. Do you have an update?

From what I know, the fire has reached Alpine, but the firefighters have made a stand and have not heard about any lost homes in Alpine. The I-8, the major east-west freeway that goes through Alpine is closed, but so far Alpine is OK.
