Dave, I've posted LEG IX, will keep an eye on!
------
Newer fire in Orange County, immediately north of San Diego County may affect some Leg IX members. All but 2 members in So California have checked in... Seems G Marius Traianus didn't bug out afterall; Halituscaninus was working the fire situation near Santee
The Santiago Fire in OC has grown large , spreading rapidly.
Section of the Witch Creek Fire in north S Diego County near/on Mt Palomar contnues to spread; Fallbrook/Rice Canyon fire growing; HArris/Potrero Fire in southern and eastern San Diego County grows, moving east and north.
Some new evacs overnight in those areas mentioned.
'
OVER 530,000 San Diegans evac'd, tens of thousands more in other areas of So Cal with more expected, especially in Orange County. Tens of thousands of San Diegans are being allowed to return home, last night and more today.
More firefighters injured.
More homes destroyed, more businesses destroyed... . thankfully this may be less than the fires in 2003!
The national news services are saying that the hot dry high speed westerly Santana winds are lessening (true) and that its a good thing that the usual easterly air flow off the ocean is a welcome relief (not so true).. ... the winds blowing east off the ocean push the fires into areas east, south and north of where they are into areas that didn't burn!
Ths is why, for example, the mountain town of Julian in San Diego County near where the Witch Creek Fire started is under a new evacuation order! Folk were allowed back in and have been ordered out again because the fire has REVERSED direction!
Don't believe a damn thing about "Katrina-like" circumstances reminiscent of New Orleans happening in San Diego! Though more San Diegans have had to evacuate than folk from New Orleans there is no govt botching of relief and aid.
Politicians and others ranting about how the War made the fires worse is pure CR^PPOLA .. REMEMBER: it's the politicians who decide what to spend mony on. If THEY decide not to buy more firefighitng aircraft its THEIR fault, not Bush's, not the Republican's. That decision belongs to ALL of them! US Sen Boxer (Dem) complained that Calif Nat Guard could have played a role in fighting fires but because of "the War" things are worse.. umm.. there are 17,000 Calif Nat Guard currently in CA. She's full of "it".
The evac's in San Diego are the largest in modern US history and have had few and only minor glitches. Also the largest evac of livestock primarily horses!
Six to eight ILLEGAL ALIENS were arrested by SDPD (turned them over Immigration!) at Qualcomm Stadium for stealing relief donations... they made a number of trips over three days with 1-2 pick up trucks and took food, bedding, cots, toys and other supplies in order to sell them.
Some looting, several arrests. Stricter controls of access to evac'd areas is now in force. Fwcking ^ssholes live everywhere. There is a fun story of neighbors who caught a looter and held him for police.. seems the thief fell down... alot ...before police got there.
Only one "official" death from the fires, though two fire fighters are severely burned and are on breathing support. Another citizen fell off his roof and two elderly died while being evac'd from care facilities. I don't know why these folk don't count toward the total of deaths. Dozens of injuries, mostly fire fighters.
The fires in San Diego County are primarily burning into remote, mountianous, rural areas.. flare up all along all edges of the burned areas is remains a concern and that's why so many are not allowed to return to their neighborhoods... many hot spots, many smouldering spots..
Some of the edges of some fires in S Diego County will burn into 1st week of November.
The Santiago Fire in OC is gettng major fire fighting attention...
