Yep. My roommate's (well, land-lord technically) parents just visited here over the weekend, and then found out the winds blew one of their HUGE trees into their house. Come to find out a couple of hours later that they are a few miles from one of the big fires. It really sucks, I couldn't imagine being put in that situation of being able to do nothing about it.

We had a fire here several years ago called "The Biscuit Complex" fire and it was a rough one. 500,000 acres burned! I feel for you, bro. Do they have it contained at all?

Just make sure you get out if you have to. I know a few years ago when there were bad fires, my g'pa lives there by San Diego, Escondido...I think?, and the fires were right down the street. That **** can spread quick, I would be packing everything you can and loading it in the car or something just in case, while you still have time. Are they really close to you guys?

my folks got evacuated from their home yesterday (rancho penasquitos). ...and now (according to google maps), the fire is about 2 miles from them, and closing. kinda scary... scary like working for a company that wants its employees to show up during all of this....anybody know of a web or video company hiring in san diego?

I was going to ask you how you were doing this morning, but I couldn't find your thread on this.
I don't have to tell you that his is a scary thing guys. I hope they get them taken care of ASAP.

What takes so long with these fires BTW, is it lack of manpower?

I think it is just due to the fact that they spread like, well, wildfire. Anything and everything just catches.
