Assuming the maps put out by San Diego County are accurate, the advance of the Harris Fire has definitely slowed today. Here’s the SD County Map as of 1800 PDT today: This hasn’t changed all that much from the map that San Diego County put out at 0530 this morning. Here’s the updated information as […]
This is not the kind of map I like to make. Today the San Diego County published a list of homes in Rancho Berndardo that were lost on Monday as the Witch Creek Fire, pushed by 50 MPH gusts, burned through the “Lake Hodges Funnel”. This map shows a grim picture: Whole streets, whole neighborhoods […]
Our web-hosting firm, without any prior notice, turned off our web site at around 11:00 am PDT on Tuesday morning. I found out about 20 minutes later that is was due to bandwidth issues; we had had about 35,000 hits since Monday morning, and we had about 1,400 people on line simultaneously at the time […]
While we wait for our site to come back up, I took a look at Matt Drudge’s page for the first time since Saturday. I saw this amazing piece of information: Civility Reigns at San Diego Stadium SAN DIEGO (AP) – Like Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years earlier in New Orleans, thousands of people rousted […]
This scrap of information was harvested from the comments section on the San Diego Union Tribune site: ” I just got back from a drive through part of east Fallbrook – with a police escort. It is surreal. Mission Road from the freeway to past Meagan’s bluff is on fire on both sides. Live Oak […]
Horse evacuation from the previous “safe spot” is now underway. There were several hundred horses at this location and adjacent. It was north of Mt. Israel road and the Elfin Forrest area on the North side of Lake Hodges. As reported earlier a offshoot that was part of the Witch Creek Fire began advancing early […]
Word has come down that where we stashed the horse is now under evacuation. Before we leave to move him to (safety?) I wanted to post a note on it. He is being moved because of the resurgent burning at the north side of Lake Hodges, near Del Dios. This area did not burn yesterday, […]
Sorry, I have little love for a systems admin who decides to knock us off the web as we are busy dishing out fire information to people in need. Yes, we were using a lot of bandwidth, and I agree that we should pay for it. But for us to find out that they want […]
A mandatory evacuation order has been issued for Fairbanks Ranch: Reverse 9-1-1 calls are going out to issue mandatory evacuation orders to 1,197 Fairbanks Ranch households, city officials said. Residents can take shelter in the Encinitas Senior Center at 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive and Carlsbad High School at 3557 Lancer Way. My daughter Jacqui (as […]
