::Firestorm in 7 Counties

Monday, October 22, 2007

I'm very much worried about Randy's situation. Harris fire is just few miles away from his area...

San Diego Firestorm

Thousands of people living in affected areas were evacuated for their safety. At past 3 pm when Randy went to bed, there were two fires only: Witch Creek and Malibu Fires.

At 4 pm, my daughter and I did some grocery shopping and we hurriedly came back home to monitor the latest news in San Diego. I couldn't watch the live news feed from San Diego due to lousy Bayantel DSL connection, so, I cooked Pork Sinigang for dinner.

When Randy came back online at 9 pm, I found out from him that 6 more fires were reported. I checked nbcsandiego.com earlier but overlooked the new reported fires. Several new fires sprouted and continued to rage overnight (pls see 2007 Firestorm Image Gallery):

  • Malibu
  • Agua Dulce, Canyon Country
  • Lake Arrowhead
  • Orange County
  • Castaic
  • Porter Ranch
  • Witch Creek Fire Merges With San Pasqual Valley Fire
  • Aguanga
  • Portrero

Our local news says, "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency for San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties."

Randy left to work but, I told him to call me by phone if they are sent home, in case of emergency... I just wish everything will be fine soon... :-(
