Concerning Pendleton, saw a live helicopter view of the Camp Pendelton Fire about 1 hour ago up. This was the fire located in the northern part of the base. The fire was in a line east to west. Appeared to be traveling north and west. Line was at least 6 to 7 miles long. Looked like it might reach the 5 freeway at the Secondary Border Checkpoint. If the 5 closes with the 15 still closed then San Diego County will be cutoff. Fire is also heading in the direction of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. Appear to be 7 -8 miles south 1 hour ago. Plant obviously can survive a fire, but we have alot of secondary issues. Will the Plant be properly secured in the fire with resources spread so thin ? The main power line towers from the plant travel east over the 5 freeway. These initial; main towers are very tall and suspend the power distribution lines high over the freeway. I am assuming this is to prevent damage from exploding vehicle on the freeway (tanker truck). Further inland to the east the Power Lines switch to normal Power Line Towers which travel up over the Mountains for miles. This lines could be vulnerable to the fire line. The fire line when I saw it was coincidently parallel to the east west line that the power lines travel to go up into the inland mountains. Potential headaches here. If this plant goes offline because it loses its main distribution lines it could affect the entire Western Power Grid.

Thank you justa! There are also lots of munitions in the area. We have a number of friends in the area and I am sick just thinking of all this. I am going back and forth between FREEP, SD County Emergency, and a local paper with a blog. I don’t know how to start a new thread, do you think it is needed?
