Wildfire in San Diego!
What's up everybody i just woke up and it's about 6:56AM and i could smoke from the fire coming out of the hills here in Otay Ranch. My prayers go out to all the families in the fires path. I lived in Mira Mesa and was a senior in high school the time Firestorm '03 happened so I know how hectic everything can be! Hopefully this doesn't turn into a firestorm and this fire get's contained soon. Help out your fellow San Diegans!

There was 4 big rigs blown over on the 210 and 15 yesterday. The wind is still howling with tree limbs all over the place. Hopefully the wind goes away today and that will allow the fires in Socal to be put out........
