I didn't want to post pics on any of the fantastic and valid diaries, but thought I'd share what is around us, as my husband and I and two cats await the word of evacuation, all our papers, some clothes, all the usual are waiting on the wings to grab and go should it get hairy for us....
6:30 am, this was the view looking towards San Marcos off our patio, to the east of us...
Around 10:30 am things got hairier. We open the door to our apartment and see this...
much smoke for sure, but the latest word at 4:59 pm is that San Marcos fire IS contained, so we may not have to go, it would SEEM...but it's a day or two of this mad wind still, and this is not over...nor is the smoke for sure.
Keep the prayers going, I know we are keeping our firefighters and fellow friends and SD neighbors in our prayers, and I am so encouraged to see so many Southern Cali Kossacks online to support and inform each other. The rest of the country and world, bless you for the well wishes!
