My comment does not take away from the seriousness of the event. Well then why don't you just TELL US what you meant by your comment?

This just reminds me so much of the Cedar Fire, almost 4 years to the day. Which was also the date that I was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with this weird a$$ brain condition!
That being said, this fire is so much worse. Staggering losses of homes and properties. I’m afraid to hear how many livestock perished.

California has more acreage of steep, super rugged geography than the entire state of Alabama. You probably meant that just one county in California has more acreage...

That’s a tough one.
I’m in the NM Mountains, and we’re way past due. Well, you do what you can.

According to SOuth County/Chula Vista Fire Chief, south county/cv area not in any fire danger (at this time). All schools (public) are open, but if air quality gets worse, then they'll reevaluate and close.
In 03, all SD COunty schools were closed due to the smoke.

Our smoke was much much worse in the Cedar fire than it has been SO FAR with these fires.
These winds are just crazy though!

I just heard it described on one of the “pressers” as a “Perfect Storm”. How very dreadful for all of you there. Prayers up for you and the brave firefighters. Living in the middle of a National Forest, I’ve had more experience than I ever wanted with fires.
(side note to some others: this is NO place for political discussions!)

California fire fighting and Alabama fire fighting have about as much in common as the arctic and the Sahara. They don't realize the size of the super rugged topography, and what erratic strong winds can do.
They don't realize you can clear your brush back 200 yards, and with a wind blown wild fire moving at 45 plus miles per hour, hot embers can travel for *miles* into neighborhoods and everywhere else.
I've seen hot embers flying at 60 miles per hour, getting sucked up under roof eves, in areas far away from the actual fires.
Some here are just ignorant of the situation.

One more time - either get on topic or go to another thread.

Wind shift just hit Escondido. It’s coming from due east now. City was smoke free until a couple of minutes ago, now it’s smoked in.
