All of San Diego is covered in an eerie haze, ash raining down like snow while the air is strangely warm even after the sun goes down. It smells like a camp fire, as if all San Diegans had stopped their mad dash to go camping...together. With the flames shooting up to 100 and 200 miles in the air and 60-mile Santa Ana winds pushing them across the dessicated brush and through the valleys, engulfing homes and forcing evacuations, today has a distinct apocalyptic feel to it.It makes you think about what you would do if you had to evacuate your home this morning.

I just read the AP wire story about the fires in SD.
Hope you guys are ok and are not in the area that has the fires.
thanks, nick - thankfully at this time we are not in the danger zone, but i was made to leave work because the air quality is so bad and they want people off of the highways
I've been watching the fires all day, you guys be careful and do what is necessary! I have an e-mail friend who lives in Malibu that has been sending pictures from her camera phone. Scary stuff. You guys be safe and sensible!
thinking about you guys across a continent and ocean -- the pictures look horrible! Be well and keep yourselves and Mischka far away from the flames --
xo, L
I was wondering if you could breathe...when we had a bunch of fires down near savannah, I couldn't stand being outdoors bc of the air quality...
anyway, I've been watching the news and worrying too. KUP.
Thanks guys- the air conditions are really bad, especially up north where I work, so they've asked us to stay home. We keep the doors and windows closed. It is much better where we live, but it depends on the direction of the wind.
Hay guys...glad to hear that you are
ok. We echo the thoughts of others to stay safe. Let us know if we can help in any way. The Vacca clan
Glad to hear all is still well with you. Thanks for keeping everyone up-to-date on how you are in your blog. Take care of yourselves.
doug says to come back to NC!
