I just recently started hearing about fires in San Diego. Just four years ago was when we had the huge cedar fires that almost burned P-town to a crisp.. The current fire was headed northwest of Poway, so it wasn’t really a threat. Then the winds did a 180 (winds were at 60 mph… now around 20-30) and are now pushing the fire straight towards Poway.
My hubby is fighting the fire as we speak & said it is getting really gnarly. If I lived anywhere near there I would get out ASAP!! The wind is way too crazy! Be safe, please people!!!
It is expected to hit the border at 5 am in the morning. My mom who is on the city council, was speaking tonight and is taking the next flight home. During the cedar fires she headed the evacuation center and I spent most of my time helping out. I wish I was back home so I could help out again! Tomorrow will be the 4 year anniversary of the Cedar Fires, and I can’t help but think that this may be the work of some crazy guy.. But there is a rumor that some downed power lines could have sparked it. Please pray for those who are evacuating!

There are more evacuations, and the fire is rapidly moving across Poway… My mom is home and they are packed in case it gets worse… people are saying this is worse than the cedar fire, especially because there is NO air support.
