San Diego County wildfires

Hello angels,

Several large fires and many small ones are raging out of control in the County of San Diego. Many homes have been lost and many more are threatened. I can see the smoke from my house, but right now we are safe. Fire is heading toward my area from three directions. All schools in San Diego County have been closed for tomorrow and probably Friday. I will not be reporting to work tomorrow. San Diego County has been declared a state of emergency. Please pray for the many people who have lost their homes and are staying in evacuation centers. One is a few miles from me.

Kathy

Praying for them and all others in troubles way.

Oh me too, Kathy! I am so worried for your family -- please keep us updated as you can throughout the day.

Marianne

Oh Kathy,

Also from me as well. This is horrible. Please be safe and check in when you can.

Terry

Hope all remains well with your family and home. Please check in when you can.

I just lost a very long update when I tried to post it.:o

Anyway, we are fine for now. Air quality is bad. There is ash flying everywhere.

Weather calls for high (Santa Anna) winds and temps from 104-106 today. Very dangerous conditions. Most of the fires remain 0% contained. More fires are expected to erupt today.

Many displaced pets and wildlife unable to escape. :o

Very tired, up all night watching the news and going outside to watch for flames on the mountains. We are surrounded by very dry mountains on three sides. :o

More later.

It's a 106 degrees right now. :eek::eek::eek:The power grid is overworked and has been surging off and on for the last few hours. If we lose power, we lose our AC and it's damn hot!!! At least we have AC, so we are better off than many.

The fires rage on. The smoke doesn't seem to be worsening, so that is hopeful. Rosie is oblivious to all the turmoil. She is just thrilled that I'm home with her today. Crazy little monkey girl! :)

Love you all,
Kathy

Oh no I hope you are ok and I hope Sonja is ok too:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Tons of prayers being said and sent for you and the people of San Diego. Please do let us know how you are doing, when you can.

Love and hugs, Lori

Praying for you, your family and all those affected. I hope they manage to get control of things soon.

Pleased to hear that little Rosie is doing well and not worried.

Stay safe
