San Diego Fires

San Diego is experiencing some horrible fires today. In fact you can actually see the huge smoke plumes from satellite images (right). Hundreds of homes have burned already in a firestorm that has reminded many of the devastating Cedar fire in San Diego 3 years ago. The difference this time is that there are actually between 6 and 8 fires across the county and the high winds and Santa Ana conditions that provoked these fires are due to stick around for a few more days. The bottom line is that there are simply not enough firefighters to fight these fires. The vast majority of the firefighters are spending their time helping the 250,000 evacuees flee their homes.

Please keep San Diego in your prayers over the next few days.
