She is right near 18, she can get out via 18 or 38, or take trails down towards Pioneer Town worse case. It's still clear in Big Bear as of now. I will try to find out more about your area up there..... not much real info as of now

No answer at Scott Hill's home in Running Springs nor at my friend's (ex-bro-inlaw) house within a few blocks of Scott's and just off 18. I imagine they've been evacuated.

Glad to hear all is safe - we've been breathing this junk all weekend.
Robert isn't that close to the RCM fire is he? I thought he was more in Chino. Glad to hear Sergey is okay - I hope his house makes it. No word from Scott Hill - that is a little scary. If anyone needs anything from me let me know. Jeff

They haven't had power in Running Springs since 6pm last night so it all feels very real to them. At least the Santa Ana winds are blowing in the right direction at this point so maybe those in Running Springs won't have to evacuate. But if the Santa Ana winds die out tomorrow as expected, those in Running Springs could be in for it. |

Jerry,
There is definetly some conflicting info going on.. From what I understood, the entire mountain, from big bear all the way to crestline was supposed to be evacuating. As far as the fire, With all the dead trees up there, It wouldn't surprise me if the whole mountain went This is NOT a good thing.. I hope that all your loved ones get out soon. Scott

There are three fires up here in Ventura County. The Piru (prolly the one that started the rest), the Fire threating Simi Valley/Moorpark and another that seems to have just started in Agoura Hills.
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/satellite/an...n.1km.vis.html You can see that's it's not good anywhere south of Santa Barbara right now. It's either flames or smoke for just about everyone. Hope you guys in SD are doing good. |

I just took these pics. These are from my patio looking across the street. This fire is ~1/2 a mile from my house. The only thing between me & this fire is Highway 8 Business (Main Street) and 3 other homes.
No word to us to evacuate yet. But things are sure getting scary quick! |
#42

|

Is this the same one that was blowing towards Sergey's place?
1/2 mile from you... when do they wait to order the evacs there?!?!?! How many live in your location? |

Joe - those pictures remind of the Laguna Hills fire 10 years ago - we lived in Aliso Viejo at the and the fire got about a mile or so from our house - I left work early that day and got my dog and the photo albums - it looked like that at night.
We need some rain.....I hate this time of year here now (didn't used to be this hot and dry - but Global Warming is a liberal plot) Jeff

I believe this is different than what's happening by Sergeys house. I think there's ~120 homes in my neighborhood.
As a correction, I was informed that I-8 is between me & the last pics I posted, though you can't tell by looking. There's lots of hills & brush on them, plus homes. Jeff, this is certainly not good as was your experiance wasn't either. |

Joe, I'd urge you to get out of there. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.. I will be in Solana Beach till tommorow afternoon.

Glad to hear everyone seems to be o.k. I had to go to San Bernardino today. Very scary up there. Lots of smoke coming fron the Arrowhead direction as well as some east towards Big Bear. Here's a view from the 210 near the 15 at around 1pm.
smoke If I can help anyone in anyway please let me know.

Dan-H,
Thanks for those links... Anything like that for the SD fire(s)? |
#49

Well, the way its going, its going to be a while till it gets to my house. My house is on the other side of lake arrowhead from where the fire area is.... But from what Im understanding, we may not have a house when this is over.. especially with only 5% containment.
Scott

Thanks Scott! I just found out that one of my coworkers lost his house in Poway. The Red Cross is taking care of him & his family. I offered him to stay here when that dries up if I end up being OK.
We're not quite ready to evacuate just yet. But we're keeping our ears peeled in case we need to. |
#51

I just sent Scott Hill a message at his pager. If he replies, I'll forward any response here. I've been wondering all day about you folks in the fire areas. Good luck. Of course, I'm willing to assist if needed.
Jason Edit. Just got a reply from Scott. He and the family have evacutated to Riverside with his inlaws. |

Well, good luck everyone and hopefully tomorrow everyone will be safe and so will your homes (and jobs).

I was called by my Division Officer & he informed me that we need to stay home tomorrow & not come to work. I think most of the Navy Base at 32nd Street (where most of the ships are located), will be like a ghost town. My office is there.

I feel like an idiot....had no idea this was going on. I hope everyone is safe, and remains that way! Joe....you'd better be a light sleeper if things are that close and you aren't leaving yet.
I'll be watching-hope everything is ok. Be safe. |

I'll certainly sleep light, if at all.
The good news is that the wind isn't blowing the fire towards our home. But I guess that's bad news for others. This El Cajon fire seems to be lingering at the top of these ridges across the hwy from us & not making it's way this direction. But of coarse I know that can shift rapidly. |

Just watched the news - christ - the state is on fire.
I hope everyone in the path is okay - Garry how close is everything to you? I know Blaine talked to you earlier, but the news showed the Simi fire and it looked pretty big. Jeff

I've yet to hear from Sean Higgins (Higlet) who lives in Simi Valley. I've called and left message with no response.
Joe, should you get hit, please give me a call, there's a room at my house: same for you to Sergey. One block over from where my wife works, everything burnt down. It's surreal that this is happening. And what makes you go "ick" is that the ash raining down, it could be remnants of someone's house. |

Does Garry Hall live in Simi too, right?

The fire in simi is right at Kuehner rd and los angeles st. and that is in Garys back yard. Hope he is safe. I know he's a couple of blocks away from that intersection. Hope everyone is safe.
