San Diego Fires - we have evacuated our home

Friends, Just thought I should let you all know that we have now evacuated our home and spending the night in a hotel in La Jolla. Last night 8 fires around the San Deigo area began spreading due to the Santa Anna winds, resulting in many areas being evacuated this morning. We live in one of those areas, and packed our most important belongings and left. Yes, even I managed to put all my stuff into one suitacase. .. good thing that my stuff is still on a ship somewhere on its way to me. CNN and NBC San Deigo have plenty of photos but all I can tell is that our skies are very grey, the air is smoky and getting anywhere on the highways is mayhem! It made a for a great sunset yesterday but I do hope that the fires subside soon.. will write more soon when I know whats happening..
