I live just north of San Elijo lagoon in Cardiff-by-the-Sea (Encinitas). My friends evacuated Rancho Bernardo - Westwood area — where 60 homes are now gone. Sitting here watching this is surreal, as they see reports now one street away (they live on a corner street right on duenda).

This is hard and very unsettling for them to watch as their entire neighborhood seems destroyed. They are already certain for instance the son’s little league coach lost his house. They arrived here at about 9:00, and we have a lot of food but we are close to Rancho Santa Fe, and we might all be evacuating soon.

Breathing is not easy either. The ash is everywhere all over the driveway.

Prayers up for you and your friends and family, techworker.

Mr RB and I spent the first years of our married life in Cardiff-by-the-Sea ; we were married in the backyard of the house we rented at 1736 Westmintser Dr, up behind the elementary school, by the music streets, in 1980.

I'm watching with horror as this unfolds on TV, and hearing that they think it might spread to Solana Bech and Cardiff via the lagoon. My prayers to you all.
