According to caller on KPBS, we’re in the middle of meteor showers right now. Not very good timing.
Caller says he’s watching fire go up Mount San Miguel near the transmitter tower for KPBS.
Fire moving toward Jamacha Blvd. area.
Witch Fire is dwarfing Harris Fire, according to KPBS announcer.

Witch Creek News as of midnight from the blog:
“Cal Fire Capt. Don Campo ran down the boundaries of the fire evacuation areas, as of about midnight (but mind you, this is changing as we write this):
Evacuation borders range from Julian Road/Highway 78 at the east and El Capitan Reservoir south toward Old Highway 80, northeast from Lake Henshaw , west toward Lake Wohlford in Valley Center and Buena Creek in the San Marcos/Vista area and to Route 78 at Melrose Drive in Vista.
There are proposed evacuations for Del Mar Heights and Route 56 to Black Mountain Road, Miramar Road, Pomerado and Scripps-Poway Parkway.”
Great, thanks. I wonder if they would cover the fires up here if we asked nicely. :)
