FX is right. Those Santa Ana winds are brutal.
Sorry to hear about your friend at Lake Arrowhead.

Points: 13,970, Level: 76 | Level up: 77%, 80 Points needed | | Well, as Tristan said, 1,000,000 people were evacuated as of yesterday in these fires. If I thought that the Cedar Fire of 2003 was really bad, this to me is worst.
Qualcomm Stadium is still being used as an evacuation center. The San Diego State University game with Brigham Young was pushed back to Dec. 1. The NFL has not decided if the Chargers will host a home game this Sunday vs. Houston. I doubt that the Chargers will play at home that day.
Around Camp Pendleton, which is where the Marine Corps is located, I-5 is shut down in both directions between Oceanside and San Clemente. Amtrak and Metrolink have suspended their service. I was lucky to take the Coaster train this morning, even though it was 30 minutes later.
I donated more platelets yesterday at the local blood bank. There were people standing in long lines waiting to donate blood as well. The American Red Cross is asking for monetary donations for the fire relief. Hope you can spare a few bucks.

Level up: 53%, 72 Points needed | | I have been hearing reports that they believe the cause of the fire was arson. I hope that if this is the case not only do they catch the bastard, but as part of his punishment they include restitution to the people he/she has harmed.

dmk | Right now, the authorities are searching for the driver of an F150 pickup, made, anywhere from a 1998-2004 model. The driver was seen setting the Santiago Canyon fire. It is a white-colored vehicle. The license plate number is not available. There are lots of trucks like that model. The truck is believed to have something else, something like chrome.
You can probably get more information if you log onto the L.A. Times or the Orange County Register newspapers.
At least seven arsonists were caught in the L.A. - Orange County alone. I do not know of any in the San Diego County area.
