Last I heard on the news was that approx 513,000 people have been evacuated around San Diego County, over 300,000 acres have burned and over 1000 homes have been destroyed. I live in the east county of San Diego and where I live we have been untouched so far. They say the fires won't even be contained until November 4. They are doing a great job of doing reverse 911 calls giving people a chance to grab some things and then leave. My girlfriend who lives in Ramona said she just got back home (but wasn't suppose to go back into the area) and the Estates area is fine, just the outskirts have burned. Now that the winds are dying down they are able to get aircraft up to do water and fire retardant drops which is a great help. There has been minor looting (what scum some people are), but the National Guard is helping with that situation. These fires won't be over for quite some time but everyone is pulling together. Everyone in a fire area -- please stay safe!!!
