The Valley Center fire has moved into Escondido and they are calling for
evacuations in the northeast corner. I can see plumes of smoke due east of
my place, probably 10 to 15 miles. Smoke is still moving to the south but
it appears to be calming.

They just mentioned that fires are reported in Rancho Bernardo south of
Poway. I dont know of a section of RB that is south of Poway but it could
be.
It has pretty much swept through Scripps Ranch now and the worst area is
Tierra Santa which was evacuated earlier. Their showing homes going up
there.
Fire lines on the ridges east of Carmel Mountain Ranch have those folks
worried.
Now San Carlos along Mission Gorge and Mission Trails park is being
evacuated.

They're saying the fire reached all the way down to Otay Lakes and has
crossed into Mexico. Acreage burned is estimated to be in excess of 100K
acres in SD county.

Ummmm, do we *really* need all of these updates?
