that is, of course, assuming California does not slip into the ocean before 2020.

I think John (lifegrddude) had to evacuate north. But he's okay...hopefully the home will be okay as well. He said his Z was covered in ash. I have my grandparents and aunt living in SD and they had to go as well. I can't imagine having to leave my home and wondering if it's going to be there when I come back. My prayers go out to you guys.

looking at the maps of the fires, and having an idea of where Rod lives, it's not looking great. he may have been evacuated. He is somewhere in Escondido, and half of Escondido is on fire, and the rest has been evacuated. Best of luck Rod, hope you and the family are ok.

my aunt lives on a ranch out east of SanDiego. She's ok and the house was still up when she left but her barn burned down. The horses are just out in the fields. That area doesn't have a lot of grass and the fires were contained yesturday but could come back.

Thumbs up Me and the family are OK

Hey all,

Wow! So many people concerned... Actually chokes me up a little.

We are OK. We were mandatorily evacuated early monday morning. If you've been watching the news, you may have heard about the damage in "Del Dios" and "Harmony Grove"...Well, that's where my house is ( I think ) .


We had about 2 minutes to grab what we could and bail. I think the house is OK (The Z is in the garage) but not 100% sure.


Thanks for all the concern and I'll keep you guys posted.


Rod.
