Poway, as far as I know, is ok. The fire touched Poway but went by very quickly to the south and west.

To people who don't live in San Diego, let me tell you, the size and the spread of this fire is overwhealming. The area it covered and how fast it did is unbelievalble.

Just as a matter of reference, in the '70 Laguna fire, which was under similar fuel moisture circumstances, but higher winds, the fire blew over Pine Valley at 9 at night and showed up near the Monte Vista station in Spring Valley at 7 the next morning. When these things get flying, they're pretty damn impressive.

Apparently there's a new start at the 76 and the 15. CDF just pulled two air tankers out to go fight it.
