Re: [APML] OT: Southern CA smoke

["Don Spencer" <ecdon@cox.net>]

Right now, my neighborhood  is filled with smoke and ash and the fire has
kind of surrounded us...I've lived in San Diego all my life and have never
seen anything like this....We watched this from Tierra Del Sol (SDAA club
site) and was amazed at how fast it was moving....then Jim Janusz and I
watched another fire kick up in the southern portion of the county...BRUTAL!
We are prepared to evacuate...I just hope it doen't come to that...
