Fires - we've been evacuated!!
Well blokey has been, cos it's term-time for me in the UK.
Good thing his work is really close by but not in the evacuation zone.
Apparently the place looks like Armageddon....ash everywhere, trees down, swirling smoke...

Hadfield - I suspect that you are OK cos you are coastal, right?

Re: Fires - we've been evacuated!!
Glad to hear that everything is ok for your OH. Quite a few people were absent from our office today because of the evacuations. That said, I think a lot of it is precautionary. I did see on the news tonight that 50 houses were destroyed in Poway and another 70 in Escondido along with 15 in Rancho Bernado. The Santa Ana's were so strong last night which is why the fire jumped the 15.

Doesn't sound like its going to improve for a while. All the best to you and your OH, Ozzidoc, and to anyone else in the affected areas.
