Oh no! I used to live in Santee (I lived all over the So.Cal. area, from Glendale to Chula Vista). I did forget to mention earlier that my friends in Santee were packing and had been given a pre-warning (for lack of better word) for evac. They were a little worried about where the heck they would go since the fires are all around them. (One friend -- not in Santee -- said they were told to go to Qualcom Stadium -- real name: Jack Murphy Stadium! AS IF! As if anyone in their right mind would want to trap themselves at the JM stadium with a couple of thousand others!!) I guess Santee friends are evacuating right about now!
Re the news coverage: It's shameful! What do you suppose is their point in endlessly discussing the Iraqi hotel bombing???

What do you suppose is their point in endlessly discussing the Iraqi hotel bombing??? I have absolutely NO idea, not at all. And the more disgusting part is, even when they reported fire info, it was HOURS old news. (I know this because I'm staying current on FR).
Hope your friends' homes stay safe.
