Life In...

These fires in San Diego have been absolutely crazy. At this point while writing this, over 500,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and over 1500 homes burned. I live in La Jolla, so I have not been evacuated but I have 2 people who have been staying at my house till this is over. I live 2 miles from the mandatory evacuation sites. The fires have crossed the 15 freeway last night and have spread very quickly towards Del Mar which is 3 miles north of me. I feel so bad for those people whose houses have been burned and all of their stuff is gone. I was watching the news and saw a reporter who was reporting in front of his house being burned down. It was very sad and really hit home to how devastating this is. A lot of people have been taken to Qualcomm Stadium and have been donating which is nice, but hopefully those people will have a home to go to after all this. It is very smoky where I live, and my nose has been burning for the last 2 days. I can't really complain though because I am still in a house. I am praying for these people who are in the hospital and those who have lost their homes and I hope they can stay strong through this. Below you will find a Google Map of the San Diego fires. The map displays road closures, evacuation areas and centers, and fire locations.
