“Even though I live in Florida and am not directly affected- this is an historical fire- and it’s horrible and fascinating all at once.”
Same here from Wisconsin, been watching live feeds all day.
And here in Northern Illinois. But we have relatives who lived in Rancho Bernardo until a couple years ago, so know the area and wonder about their old neighborhood.
Prayers go up for everyone involved. Watching NBC local is disheartening.
Back in 1998 in Florida we had an absoultely astounding summer of fires- there were days when 100 new ones would start. There was one evacuation of nearly 1 MILLION people - it was an absolute disaster. Luckily- though hundreds of houses were lost- the wind shifted before thousands were lost. Still- it wasn’t the Santa Ana wind.
