I can see smoke from the mt. fires in the san bernardino mts. In the
high desert here we are safe though.
SIL has been evacuated from her house in Poway. It was rebuilt after
the fires took it in '03.
Humidity was 3% with up to over 80 mph winds. That downs power lines,
starts fires. It is like a storm.
Firebugs come out of the woodwork. Natural causes are always there too.
There are so many people here they build in areas that really are not
good to live in. People keep coming, developments keep being built. It
is really a sad thing.
Fires have always been here, the difference is lives and property now.
Everyone locally knows someone who has been touched someway.
Thanks to everyone for thinking of us and sending thoughts and prayers.
