    i love how its always the Santa Ana winds fault. i'm no climatologist (spelling?) but i'm pretty sure they have probably been blowing for centuries. what exactly starts these fires? could it be irresponsible people who flick cigs out their cars? is there research on this stuff? do we ever hear about how they start?

    the santa ana wind in combination with the nice swell we're having, makes for some good surf.

    Dude,

    My co-workers house in Rancho Bernardo apparently burned down this morning. :-( He and his wife are going thru a divorce and he moved out about two months ago. His wife and daughter are fine. The only thing, he lives in San Marcos, close to being evacuated as well.

    Took two ad a half hours to get home since I-15 was closed at Fallbrook. Took the Ortega Highway into Lake Elsinore and came down that way. Wow...

    yeah sorry for the old image, but It's from the 2003 fires and I thought it was ironic.

    My aunt, uncle, and grandma live in San Marcos. They just got out and are staying at my parents' house. One of my closest friends evacuated Rancho Bernardo when the flames were 2 miles from his house. He's with relatives in Chula Vista, which is now getting evacuated. Crazy stuff.

    I went to see Tower Of Power last night (incredible show!) and the lead horn player had his apartment burn down although he was most upset about his motorcycle "exploding" in the fire.

    sounds like a good opportunity for ministry, a lot of people in need.
