Was up in Ramona

[SD Realtor]

We were in Ramona helping some friends pack up… Man it is pretty sketchy up there right now. Pretty much a total clusterf-ck right now.

It sure look, feel, and smell like it did 4 years ago.

Why does the emergency alert voice sound like it’s straight out of a horror movie?

Lets just hope the fuel isn’t back for it to do the same thing.I think it isn’t as heavy as it was.
From high point of my property I’m looking right over Alpine and can see flames. That’s the same path it took all the way to Harbinson Canyon and Crest.

Nice of you to help out Adam.

Rus I assume you are keeping your eyes open given the mess down in portero. I had a meeting down in Bonita this afternoon and saw that one from far away. Left there at 5 pm and went straight out to our friends who live in way way southwest ramona off of highland valley. When we were there late in the afternoon it was blowing but had died down as it got later…then shortly after sundown (it was hard to tell if it was sundown but it was dark instead of brown grey) the wind picked up pretty heavy… The thing that was kind of dufus was that these people said that thier neighbors went to the meeting in ramona today with fire officials and the prevailing opinion was that the winds would die down this evening… not the greatest assumption in my book. Then again there is not alot they could have done since there is not much firefighting you can do at night anyways.

I was in Ramona an hour ago. Westbound 67 was pretty congested. And that was before they announced the evacuation of the entire town. Interestingly, HVR was nearly empty.

Don’t go there sightseeing. You’ll make it harder for people to evacuate and you risk getting stuck in traffic on your way back. There’s nothing there to see, anyway.

“went to the meeting in ramona today with fire officials and the prevailing opinion was that the winds would die down this evening… not the greatest assumption in my book”

Unbelievable.The wind is ripping through the hills and canyons right now.
Not that it is the right time to knock people butI always did wonder how a fire burns from Julian almost to the ocean and then back to the dessert.

I can see the other fire too,just a glow beyond Lyons peak. Supposedly there is a portion of it coming north west. It is still pretty far though. That said, after the cedar fire I take nothing for granted.
I did call a guy who works for me now and then and lives near that one to see if he needs a place to stay. Haven’t heard from him.I am sure he knows how to take care of himself.

Here is a link to some maps from SDSU:
http://map.sdsu.edu/

Fox 6 news had a graphic earlier showing the footprint of the 2003 fires and how they relate to the current ones. The graphic showed how current fires are between the old cedar fire and the paradise fire and the harris fire is east of the Otay fire of 2003. It dosent look good, the amount of fuel there has been piling up for years.

Hopefuly everyone gets out ok.
