That time of year again

posted in News |

Santa Ana winds.  Huge wildfires.

I’ve said this before:  Having lived in California, I can say that the thing that scared me most was the autumn fire season.  Not earthquakes.  Earthquakes are a now and again thing.  Fires are a sure thing, every autumn, before the winter rains begin.

Cousin and family were evacuated from Ramona, and everyone in the family is okay, so far.

My thoughts go out to everyone in the San Diego area.  I remember the Oakland Firestorm, and how it affected everyone in the area–everyone knew someone who had lost a home in that fire.  This one sounds like it’s going to be quite similar.

    So glad your family is okay and as someone who lives in a natural disaster path? The fires of CA scare me more than anything.

    Quite frightening. One of my bosses lives near San Diego. I can imagine losing a house and all the possessions, as its happened to me before. But those folks will be trying to find homes in San Diego… that’s gonna be hard.
