Good luck to you you are in our prayers. My daughter lives in the Mira Mesa area. She is a Nurse at Scripts she reports that one of the hospitals has been evacuated and they are receiving their patients!!

[Mrs.Liberty]

Pomerado Hospial in Poway is being evacauted and patients relocated. This is how unpredictable this fire is-—at 0600, I was listening to the news, and the word was, Pomerado Hosp was NOT going to be evacuated. Just in the space of an hour or so..that has all changed.
