That’s pretty amazing, they’ve managed to rebuild half the homes already. At noon they were saying a thousand. I’ve got 275 in the pool, myself.

I’m listening to SignOnRadio. http://www.signonsandiego.com/signonradio/index.html

This whole thing is just unreal. I used to live in SD and have family in Lakeside and La Mesa, as well as a friend in Bonita.

There was too much food at the Q. Nearby stores, Costco, Ralphs, restaurants,SD residents—all donating food and water. One news station showeed a guy going back to his spot in Qualcomm Parking lot with five boxes of pizza!

Sorry I can’t help you out with Running Springs. I haven’t looked that one up. SO many fires!

Hope you are safe!

Would that be the same ‘coveted DC10’ that flew into a tree a few months ago when it couldn’t handle low level turbulence the way the smaller do?

from your map: “The fire had grown to 3,000 acres by 5 p.m., and 14,000 acres by 8 p.m.” (Harris Fire—11000 acres in 3 hours).

WOW! That is very helpful.

I am ready to sign off for the night. It looks like it will be a stormy night with possible tornadoes. I don’t ever remember having tornadoes in October. It is also one night I won’t complain about the weather either.
