I could see the flames from my house all day today and still tonight. It's about 5 -7 miles from my home. There's the toll road and a large reservoir between me and the fires but if it gets down past those, which these fires never have, I might be in deep voodoo. My brother was evacuated from his home in Fallbrook yesterday.

As usual the reaction in Cali is way overkill.
Only 1700 homes?
That is laughably small to disrupt the lives of a half million people.
Have there ever been fires in California that have done some real damage worth such an evacuation? At minimum, we are talking 5,000 homes destroyed....at minimum.
This round of fires will probably stop about 2 grand actually destroyed.
400,000 people were evacuated out of over-reaction.
