Hugh Hewitt just mentioned getting his info on the fire right here (in this thread, I would imagine).
Where are you? There’s also a fire in Devore. Just heard a fire started at 2:20pm in Stevenson Ranch. Just told everybody to evacuate.
I’m in rural Riverside county, up in the hills with lots of dry brush.
It’s a horrible situation. They’re gonna need a lot of out-of-state help, but still I fear that won’t be enough.
Geez! Of course I don’t need to tell you to be safe. My heart and soul is with all of you down south.
Anybody watching Qualcom Stadium coverage?
The place looks rather empty. Lots of school buses but not alot of evacuees.
With 1/4 million people evacuated, where are they going?
Something isn’t adding up......
Oh man. Any reports of lives lost other than the fellow from yesterday? I’ve not heard any. I think it will be a miracle if he ends up being the only one under such circumstances.
From the looks of the 5, they're all heading north.
That's what I'd do. The last place I'd want to be is squeezed between a firestorm and Mexico.
I’m sure you’re right- remember- these are questions from a hurricane gal, though we’ve had our share of wildfires in Florida- but nothing even remotely resembling what you are going through.
Hard to grasp how MANY have started..and how much land they cover.
Friends houses not evacuated. Much better then a Superdome like environment. Lots of people also staying put to protect their homes due to strain and resulting lack of government fire prevention resources.
Your hunches or womens intuition is probably spot on, but you know what happens around here when you jump the gun.
To a friends house - where there is food, a clean bathroom, and a couch.
Report of people missing in Rancho Bernardo. That was one of the places that got evacuated too slowly. Many people are also staying put to fight the fires.
Ice plant is the bomb. Saved my place in the mid 1980’s Murphy Canyon fire. Stuff is almost impervious to fire.
I’ve lost my live feed. It’s probably overwhelmed.
