Good! Started to get concerned when they talked about the fire going into Hesperia.

[lainie]

I'm worried about "okimhere" -- she's over there

[CedarDave]

Discussing Amber on MSNBC -- the bush, not the Scott Peterson's lady.

[PhiKapMom]

I knew someone was in that area but I couldn't remember who it was. My brain has basically quit working the last few days.

KFI just reported the two San Diego fires are close to merging.

Also reported that foreign journalists are all over LA to cover these fires. Wonder if they do a better job then our cable news channels?

[baseballmom]

KOGO

Paradise Fire and Cedar - worst fears is that 2 largest fires may be joined.

***Expecting these 2 fires to merge*** - weather patterns....

Flames have already jumped I8

[BreitbartSentMe]

wind blowing SSE, seeing lots of horse trailers heading out of Julian to the south.

[BreitbartSentMe]

fire did jump 78 at wynola, but that's still the way out. ff said they are going to take 79 out, but residents need to take the 78 north out. (from CHP) nate harrison grade closed to Palomar. entire nate harrison grade is closed

[NorseWood]

I heard that the fire IS burning towards Hesperia, that it crossed the aquaduct, whereever that is . . .
Check out this site: http://homepage.mac.com/joeurbz/iblog/index.html

[lainie]

KTTV = silverwood lake has burned, reporter on scene in hesperia

I keep chasing them around but I personally haven't seen arrowhead-is-burning pics

[lainie]

Hesperia airport to be new FF staging area

[lainie]

SB scanner broadcast: A major solar flare expected at noon today could have major impact on GPS and comms for FF

[BreitbartSentMe]

now broadcasting from Palomar mountain. Paradise fire is heading towards cedar fire (they may merge) very calm, not much wind there so far. Where she's standing, heading towards observatory. (south grade road) looking bakc to south, seeing smoke there from cedar fire, but also seeing the smoke blowing from the paradise fire. no flames visible from where they are right now. Reports cedar and paradise fire 5 miles apart earlier today. winds blowing paradise fire into cedar fire. smoke plumes 13K feet high.

[cookcounty]

"I keep chasing them around but I personally haven't seen arrowhead-is-burning pics"

There aren't any TV crews up there, they got kicked out.

[CedarDave]

KNBC says air support grounded in vicinity of highway 18 due to very high winds along ridge tops.

[aCookieMomster]

QUESTION:

I just called someone in Apple Valley who insisted they were not under mandatory evacuation. Can anyone tell me where that information came from? It's my friend's mom and she is stubborn.

[ErnBatavia]

A major solar flare

This morning wifey and I both noticed the red, smoke filtered sun as it rose...quite visible were 2 black dots right around center. Weird! I think we actually SAW sunspots, a side benefit of being able to look at a shrouded sun.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for that link. Sounding more like the fire is now getting totally out of control.

[Die_Hard Conservative Lady]

I'm in the High Desert area, and it's terrible! the smoke is so bad!

[tazman3]

Sounds like my mom. And she is in AV. Not evacuating yet.
