ParticipantYeah pretty crazy stuff. I just spoke to our friends about 40 minutes ago and they are still able to sneak in and out to thier home from escondido via highland valley. I am sure that route will be closed pretty soon. I would agree with esmith, don’t go sightseeing.
I agree Rus… I don’t want to bang on the people in charge but I am not so sure that the afternoon assumption that winds will die in the evening during a santa ana is/was a great one. The engineer in me always leans towards worst case assumptions for design parameters rather then best case. Again though, what can you do right? Like I said, I do not know much about firefighting so I do not know how much progress is made during the middle of the night anyways whether winds are blowing or not.
What really sucks is that I would be both fires are due to some arsonist. (Okay that is a very speculative statement) How or why people get thier kicks off of that stuff is beyond me. Yes I do know Cedar Fire was caused by a dopey lost hunter…

ParticipantGood luck to all in Ramona and other fire zones. They are evacuating all of Ramona tonight. I’m watching this stuff on the news tonight.
This is looking like a replay of the Cedar files from a few years back.
I just invited my coworker and his large family over to my house to stay. I better buy some milk! If you know anybody who lives out there, consider putting them up, I hope someone would do the same for me if I ever needed it.

ParticipantSo far this is the best blog I can find for reports on where the fire is. Way to go PIGS! Does anyone know of any other active blogs with SD fire info???? It always seems that the netizens have the best and most current info.

ParticipantWell, I know you are all talking about Ramona etc. but who would have believed the Northwood area of Irvine would burn? It’s due to some combination of wind factor and the 261 toll road creating a funnel , and the eucalyptus trees are so flammable, and my siser’s place is adjacent to Northwood. Looks like they’re asking for voluntary evacuations of that area, and Jamboree is closed to all but emergency traffic. Luckily the fire hasn’t jumped Portola.
My niece and nephew are excited about the pajama party at my place tonight.

ParticipantInner Engineer…
while not an engineer but a part-ways man o science I tend to go w/ SDRealtor and the worst case assumptions, not making me to popular w/ the BTB as far as the current housing market…
all that aside, this is creepy… am at work and the Hospital air filtering system is lacking… the place is smokey INSIDE.
Hope all y’all are safe n sound…

October 21, 2007 at 11:46 PM #90480ParticipantLooks like the Sheridan tract in Northwood has a house on fire. Other relatives that live at Portola and Tustin Ranch called to say they haven’t been ordered to evacuate, but the house across the street has trees on fire.
