Listening to Channel 10, SD.
Ramona opened up though there is no water. Residents angry that only lack of domestic water was keeping them out — finally county officials gave in and let them back in to check on homes and spend the night.
Fallbrook opened up too a short while ago. Residents earlier had been prevented by the NG, though FD had given the o.k. Lead to angry words being exchanged.
Remaining 700 persons at QualComm have been given to noon tomorrow to leave to Del Mar or other shelters. Will be given transportation if they have none.
Three-quarter million dollars donated to the Red Cross so far. $500,000 by Anheuser Busch, $150,000 by Wells Fargo, $100,000 cash by Ford plus 5 or 6 new SUV’s for the FD. (missed other donations — Red Cross phone bank at Channel 10 studio).
[someone asked earlier — lived in northern California in mid-sixties and in San Diego for training before Vietnam; fun times as a young bachelor officer!]
Red Cross San Diego donations now up to 1.1 million dollars.
Julian area, Lyons Valley, and Palomar Mtn. still threatened by fires.
Channel 10 gone back to regular programing and I’m going to do other things. Nite from SE NM.
That was me who asked. Fun times, huh? I was here then; did we meet? Just KIDDING!! ;^)
Only 700 left at Qualcomm.... I guess GMA has packed up and gone home by now, too.
Haha.
HP has made a grant of $2 million to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for the Southern California wildfires. An addition 1.5 million is available for matching employee gifts.
