  • Great, the La Nina which brings drought here

    Is back.

  • my cousin lives in san diego, she

    didnt have to go to skool do to

    the fires. im glad shes alright though..

    love ya kenz!!! =)

  • If you live near an ocean or a coast you wouldn't feel that nervous with all the moisture in the air and everything. If it rained we would've been lucky. I live near the Pacific Ocean in Ventura County, right near the P.O.. The fires didn't hit here but there was one once in Ventura on a hill but not as bad as this, waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy smaller.

  • Did you loose your home?

  • oh wow, yeah that is crazy

  • the fire was scary...i live about 3 miles from where the harris fire was and i could see the flames from the back of our house

  • Im at escondido off the 78 E entrance. Where was this RB?

    Ya know I read the papers and they say were takin extra precautions about fires now, but i know theres gonna be another one, hopefully not soon though

  • Sign543 outside the house!

  • Brings back memories. I live in Fallbrook. Went through the same skys to evacuate up to Temecula. All turned out well thought scary.

  • Malibu Area have a big time CURSE on it, I move out of Los Angeles in 2007 and now move into near Brownsville City also known as Southern California of TEXAS and Brand New homes here are still cheap for 3 bedrooms and 2 baths US$100,000-Brownsville & Harlingen are both growing big time- Tired of Smoke,Earthquake,pollution,fir­e n more

  • The winds are coming back! Google Ontario Weather Service for the most accurate forecast on them.

  • There was a fire less than one mile away from me (Irvine / Santiago), so you're pretty lucky to have it 10 miles away.

  • There's WAY too much wind to even attempt a controlled burn. That's academy 101.

  • hope your okay, can you please update?

  • dude can u believe people are blaming the fire on illegal aliens and president bush

  • now THIS is mental illness, "it's that damn Bush that makes fires burn hot and all that smoke, if he didn't rig the election, we wouldn't of had a fire," yeah yeah, hahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Actually controlled burns is not the best solution.Occasionally the burns do get out of control and become very destructive wild fires. Cutting trees to creat fire breaks and introducing grazing animals to reducing the bushes is a more controllable way to reduce the risk of wild fire.We don't build houses on oil rigs. If fact people living in the concrete jungles are more likely to die from fires than people living in the suburbs.

  • The authorities in Southern California are unwise not to do enough to encourage people living in high risk areas to become volunteer firefighters before this devastating fire. Shortage of firefighters is one of the main reasons why so many homes are lost and the regular firefighters had to keep on fighting fire to the point of complete exhaustion while many able men had to evacuate to watch their houses burned down.

  • when did the giraffes at the wild animal park get video cameras and access to youtube?

  • i wrote this song california burning as a tribute to the heroes and the survivors, Love you all

  • I would rather get blown to pieces than burn to death or suffocate.

  • Just stay safe. Your life is worth more than a house. Uncle is in Pine Valley, just 5 miles from fire, the the wind is going in opposite direction.

  • Wow, that reddish sky looks like something on Mars.

  • Damn dude that would freaky, my uncle had his house burn down and got to watch his car blow up....

  • it did

  • I was living in sd with the wildfires in 03, and you just gotta be there to believe it. Never seen anything like it.

  • I wish you all a quick ending to this fire. Thanks to all the fire fighters and common folk who are putting this fire out.

  • Dang, that looks like something from an apocalypse movie.

  • wow i can see the smoke from my house and i live like an hour and a half away from San Diego

  • Churchill once said "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." As true today as it was 65 years ago. This tragedy could have been prevented, provided that we learned from what happened 4 years ago.

    The county is bankrupt; our firefighters are under-funded; everything is in dire need of repairs; and the politicians are more intent on making more money while everything around burns down. It's funny, though: this is still the best place on the planet.

    I weep for our future.

  • Stay safe. I'll pray for you

  • Quoted. For. Truth.

  • Yeap, praying stops fires.....

  • you serious? its just a damn book ffs, made up by some bored fat guy most probably, if i owned a library, sure i'd put it on the shelves, under fiction ¬_¬

  • Why are people voting u down? you seem to be the only one besides me with common sence, when i said prayer stops fires i was sarcastic lol

  • This guy did a better job on reporting than CNN.

  • @artfuldodga The problem is that the nationally broadcast news channels always have to cut to commercial breaks, except during national emergencies.

  • godspeed - be well

  • There ya' go. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. I hope you stay safe and your home remains untouched. Lauren

  • The rain is coming soon, and that will help big time. I am sure we will be getting your smoke here in Utah. Last time there were big fires there we got a lot of the smoke. Best of luck to you! And my prayers go out to you.

  • OH NO TONY, I HOPE YOU ARE OK.

  • Thanks for the update, unfortunately I'm watching this from Iraq right now. My family is in the hills in Escondido near Fallbrook but haven't been evacuated yet. Hope you and your family in San Marcos will be alright.

  • AW you were evacuated?!? I'm sorry. I've kept the news on all day...I'm hoping that it doesn't travel to the part of San Diego where I live. I'm pretty close to where you are, I think. :/ Ugh. Good luck.

  • Dude, I hope you're ok. Let me know how your house fares when you find out.

  • I was just talking to one of my friend's on yahoo while at work and she had to go because the evacuations were to her now. And they had evacuated her mom from a nursing home and she didnt even know where she was at now. What a scary thing to deal with. Hope you stay safe Tony.

  • Keep safe Tony and move out if you have to without delay. If and when the call comes to evacuate, do it and don't worry what's left behind. LIFE is far more valuable than stuff and yours is valued here. Take care of you and yours.

  • That is scary! Pack your important stuff and go now!!! I am terrified of wildfires breaking out where I am in NC. It has rained only once in the past 3 months. Everything is brown and crispy(even the grass). One spark and who knows how much would burn.

  • wow, i hope that you and yours will be ok. i wish you my best.

  • Thank you. :)

  • perhaps it is time for you to come to San Francisco where the sky is ALL blue! Santa Ana winds, I remember them well, I am so glad I moved out of Southern California, all the ashes! Ugh! Get out now bello! ciao Reynaldo safe & sound in San Francisco Baby!

  • Why couldn't our trip be TODAY?? :)

  • You are always welcome, Claushah as well! Kelley's Mom just called and they were evacuated from their home in Lake Arrowhead. They of course have been through this before! Hope everyone's insurance is up to date!

  • Tony....we're keep you and everyone involved in our pravers. I'm with Paul on this...if there should be any help needed financially, I'm here for you. :-)

  • Thank you, Sue...they've told us that when/if we evacuate, we are to go to the Delmar Fairgrounds....I've gotten offers from people north of us to stay with them...but the interstate is jammed up completely. There are a dozen fires around us. Yikes. No evacuation yet.

  • Be safe! Please... be safe!

  • Thank you!

  • Tony, If you need me you have a friend in La Mesa. Give me a holla!

  • Thank you...we have another friend in La Mesa, as well...but how to get there?? The 5 is completely blocked, I think.

  • This is so horrible. Stay safe!

  • I'm SO sorry that this is happening to you. Please please please get out of the area until you're 100% safe. You should put a damp cloth over your face to avoid breathing in any more smoke too. Good luck.

  • Get ready to evacuate Tony! Wear masks too! That stuff in the air is NOT good! I was living there in the last big fire! If you need a place to go, PM me...:-)
