The San Diego Fires

ucla - If you have to evac, where will you even go? You can't get on 15 right there, right? Do you have to get on 56? It must be a parking lot.

looks like some of the first shelters are now full.. the mira mesa high school, del mar fairgrounds...

That superitendent should be canned when this is all over. Having school today was BEYOND stupid.

They just added another huge evac area, mostly Scripps Ranch. So basically, I appear to be in a 3 mile pocket or so that isn't being evacuated. Crazy. Hope it lasts. I really don't want to leave.

I think I'm in that same pocket Here is a map of burn areas and expected evacuation LINK

I'm not exactly sure where Rancho Arbilitos is.

Well I was going to go out through Scripps Ranch, but with them now getting like another 30k people plus out of that area, not sure how I will go, if I end up having to leave. Maybe up Poway Road and then down the 67 through Lakeside, although I hear there are fires out there as well.

This is insane.

ucla,

go rent an RV and park it in a walmart parking lot.

[uclabruinz]

Melchy, I am near the Target/Outback center. If you take a right onto Twin Peaks from Ted Williams, I am in the neighborhood then to the left. Where are you?

If you want to keep in touch with someone, you can PM me and I will give you my AIM and email addy.

Rumor has it that the superintendent has a business background and didn't want to lose the money for canceling school for a day. ALL the teachers were bitching about him today.

Oh, by the way, my favorite part of the day was when the Principal got on the intercom at 11:30 and announced that school would continue for today (groans by the students). Then a minute afterwards, they said that Homecoming tickets would not be sold today "because of the weather."

Ucla that is probably a bad spot as Pomerado, which is right down the road, is being evacuated. I am wondering if I will be able to get out on the 8 and head to AZ or not.

[uclabruinz]

Momo,

Yeah, if you are talking about Pomerado Hosp that's been going on for a few hours, and is "precautionary." I still think this may go around me.

As for the 8, no idea but I know that I have a couple friends out toward Alpine and they are under an immediate standby for evacuation.

How does this compare to the fire we had in fall 03? That happened during my senior year of high school and I think school was canceled for the whole week. I remember air quality was terrible and the sky was orange for a long time.
