A co-workers son lives in N. Chula Vista and has not been able to contact him. Any word of what is going on there?

Also has family in Mira Mesa. Any word would be appreciated!

[Grammy]

thanks

Cuyamaca St. extends south out of Santee but deadends into Fletcher Parkway.

Your friend should be safe as there aren’t any fires burning that close to us.

I didn't even know there was a Fallbrook fire.

You have any quick info on 18 going up to Crestline from San Berdo?

I know it was closed yesterday.

I don’t have a direct answer for you...but this site will be excellent for that area.

Many prayers for your family and friends.

I suggest you nip that in the bud, as the Admin Moderator has been telling people that if they want to talk like that, they should start their own thread.

[Grammy]

Thanks. Not being from the area and not getting any word from him makes us a bit nervous.... although, I sure he has nothing better to do than fend off messages from around the country. 8-)

“I suggest you nip that in the bud, as the Admin Moderator has been telling people that if they want to talk like that, they should start their own thread.”

Well, I certainly will not take it back however I will say that I mean’t it more as a question and less as a statement of fact. IOW “Do you think this could be.....” rather than proclaiming judgement.

I will however not make another post of that inflammatory nature on this thread again.

The fire was bumping east Chula Vista last night.....the eastern border....

I will take a look around...the phones are all busy

[Tijeras_Slim]

Thanks BG! Big hug!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Thanks Karl, much appreciated.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Big hug!

Don't touch me.

Good morning, Grammie, Fatima and Global2010.
I’m just signing back on FR; will catch up on thread.
I am keeping TV off this morning, it is too depressing.

We haven’t been able to make a list of CA FReepers in the worst areas, since events have moved so fast and folks check in as able. But the ones we know of have reportedly made it to safety.

God bless our firefighters and all whose lives have been thrown into turmoil and loss in this disaster. God lift us up in SoCal.
