The sky is an eerie dark reddish black. The Witch Creek Fire that started out in the middle of nowhere mas moved all the way into the city of San Diego. Thousands have been evacuated and huge neighborhoods filled with multi-million dollar homes have been totally wiped out.

I’m surrounded by fires, much of my family scattered around Escondido, Poway and Rancho Bernardo had to be evacuated. Some have lost their homes already.

The fire JUMPED the I 15 freeway, which no one thought was possible and now it’s in San Diego proper too, not just in all the outlaying suburbs. They are afraid it will wipe out everything in it’s path and keep going all the way to the ocean due to the heavy winds powering the flames.

I decided I should blog real quick in case I lose Internet connection again, have to evacuate or go help family. I’ve had Internet connection problems off and on since last night. The way it’s going I guess I could even lose power.

I’ll be checking in when I can, if I can. I may try to blog about the fire and if so, will add news to this post. But if I don’t blog for awhile, you’ll know why.

Please send your prayers to the people of Southern California.

Update: 9:51 AM Here’s a pic I grabbed off the news of some of the fires (gold balls). Several new ones just broke out that arent on here. I am the red dot. Lots of power outages. Mine has been cutting out off and on.
