With some luck the fires may be contained in the next couple days. Hopefully the smoke will start to clear and you will be able to enjoy yourself out here.

Coming to visit MMMMERT, huh Kevin?? [Wink]

We are flying out and renting a car so no worries there. Just delays and smoke.

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

I'm trying to talk my wife into cancelling. I don't think it's a good idea to go, especially wih my asthma.

I called 2 places and both said the air quality is POOR.

I can see the newspaper now....."Asthma sufferer goes on vacation anyway and dies from the smoke. What an idiot."

Our air quality is never good here in CA! So either way you're screwed! [Razz]

Smart move, the air quality is well beyond the "Poor" that they told you. My father-in-
law suffers from asthma too, he is pretty much
been confined to their house.

Come back and enjoy the beauty of San Diego when
things are better. [Smile]

...and yes, We are safe, we got evacuated yesterday at about 9:00 am...we had all the cars
packed the night before so we were ready to bail
when the cops came around the culdesac on the
loudspeaker telling all residents to leave
immediately.

Thought I'd never see our house again. [Frown]

Thankfully, we were lucky and they stopped the
fires directly North and South of us. 3 and
4 miles away is not much when the winds kick up.
Sunday afternoon we were 25 miles from flames,
Sunday at midnight 5 miles away...Monday morning
3 miles and this was with almost no winds and
they were expecting the Santa Ana winds to pick
up and blow right in our direction. Thankfully,
that did not happen or I would probably be telling
a different story this morning.

Whole neighborhoods were devastated...it is
horrible and I can't imagine what that would
feel like.

Pete, I'm glad you are ok, and that your house made it.

Hopefully we can make it next year, it's still a place I really want to see.
