Irish...many thanks. I'll definitely remember. I'm one of almost a million people that are dealing with all this.

Update: We're going to pack up out of here (Dana Point) and head towards a friend's house in Temecula. We want to be closer when the evacuation is lifted for my area. The 15 has been reopened and we want to take the opportunity to get closer to home while we can. One of the neighbor's tried to enter our block last night. They have military posted at the entrance and exit so no one can get in even with ID at this point. There are still hot spots, downed power lines and gas leaks to be dealt with before they will allow us in to even see the damages. There are still major evacuations ongoing and will be for some time to come. This isn't over by a long shot but some aspects of normalcy are slowly beginning to happen here and there. Hang in there fellow So Cal people. We'll get through this no matter what the outcome will be.

Quick note for popeye, no there's no rhyme or reason to what's burning and what isn't. It's like a universal crap shoot. I have friends that have wooden homes with shake roofs and surrounded by eucalyptus trees that are completely intact while two doors down the stucco and glass house with greenscaping and fire resistant tile roofs are burnt to the ground. Sure shake can go quicker but the fires seem to be getting up into the eaves through vents and once that happens the wooden frames of the structures are going. The chems in the pool water isn't the best resource for putting out a fire regardless and can sometimes make the building more vulnerable to catching fire.

I'm not very far away from that area myself. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers as well. As of this evening Encinitas is open for return but Fallbrook is still on the evac list. Hang in there!

Thank you so kindly. So many, including me, thinking of you too. Be well please!

Subtee, just a quick note...it looks like Fallbrook is well on it's way to containment. Friends in the next town over from there have been able to get into their home to survey damage and take some essentials before being escorted back out. My thoughts are with your family for their safe return to their intact home.

Thank you so much again...they're still evacuated in Valley Center it seems, but safe. The winds have died down, as i understand it, a very huge blessing. Maybe the fire will do the same. I will continue thinking of you. Be well, be safe.

Quick reply:

We are in Newport Beach and everything is covered in this very fine ash. The sky is orange. We have been trying to stay inside and not breathe the stuff in.

Chewsie, we just got into Temecula and it's much the same here. Is that the afteraffect of the Malibu fires or are you having your own there in Newport?

Very grey and overcast looking here with fine ash and soot everywhere. Seems to be just the winds since my friends here have had no reports of fires. Looks like we could be getting back in tomorrow...fingers crossed.

Bush was just on the News commenting about the fires with Fema people.
Three weeks ago he signed a $34.6 Billion dollar foreign aid bill which has increased 290% from ten years ago.
Let's see if he'll for once start taking care of the American People who live in S. California when they need it!

I finally had to shut the news off. I couldn't take it anymore.

Our office closed down on Monday and we've all been working from home. That way if one of us needed out fast, we wouldn't be driving home to do it.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things improve tonight.

Bobbi,

Check your mail please...I have a question for you and there's too many personal details to put on the board.

One thing that will be sorely needed is some type of temporary housing for people while homes that were destroyed by the fire are being re-built.
Perhaps the federal govt can contract with hotels, motels etc in the area for this.
I would imagine that the Red Cross might have some temporary housing units that can be put up quickly. Anyone know?

P.S. I just called the Red Cross and made a donation.
They said you can "earmark" donations to the California Red Cross if you want the money to go there.
The guy I talked to didn't know anything about temporary housing as he's just in a call center.
If you want to donate the number is; 1-800-733-2767.

Hello Jo,

I am certainly on the look out for some local reputable organizations to give donations to.
I was just thinking what a difference a day makes, and I am sure you are too.
I can't imagine what the atmosphere is like in your area at this time.
Have you been able to go out and about during the day?
Are you wearing a mask when you go out?
What are people doing during the day?
My prayers are with you, and I hope and pray your home is unscathed.

I'm watching Geraldo interview some victims, Governor Schwartzenegger, and other people.
One shot showed a mobile home park where all 150 houses burned.
One guy that he talked to said that he wanted to thank the Red Cross for all their good work.
The Governor said that unlike hurricane Katrina things are going along very well between federal, state, and local governments.
And from all reports Calif. is much better prepared than Louisiana was for emergencies. They seem to have a lot of Firefighters and Police in S. Calif.
And they also said there are no shortages of food, toilet paper, pet food, diapers etc. And there are 10,000 people in that stadium and there is peace and order and everyone is being fed and cared for.
And you can't help but feel for the people who lost everything they own.
And they mentioned that there are plenty of volunteers to help out in the stadium getting children involved in games and crafts, helping cook food etc.
That's good, volunteers make a huge difference in emergencies like this!

I am worried about my Master he is in So Cal and I have not been able to reach him as of yet. I did manage to get a hold of his mother, but the fire is rapidly encroaching. I am so worried.
