Wildfires scorch San Diego County: 'Mother Nature was not on our side'
Carlsbad, California (CNN) -- In her 42 years of living in Southern California, Sophie Payne of Carlsbad has "never, never, never" witnessed so many wildfires at one time.
Three dozen raged overnight. Eight of them continued to burn Thursday in a patchwork across of San Diego County, ravaging 10,000 acres since Tuesday, and killing at least one person. Payne's hilltop house was an exhibit of their destruction: It was burned to the ground, except for a stone archway and several walls.

Authorities in San Diego County ordered additional evacuations Thursday afternoon as a wildfire began "making an extreme run," as one state fire captain said.
The Associated Press is reporting that a badly burned body found in a transient camp in Carlsbad is the first reported fatality from the wildfires. The city says it had no information about person who died.
The wildfire that started Wednesday afternoon near Cal State University San Marcos was driven by wind in several directions Thursday, heading north, east and west.
An additional 13,000 evacuation notices were issued Thursday afternoon as the fire grew to 1,000 acres.
