the witch fire…
October 21st, 2007The governor has declared a state of emergency, and the news stations strongly advice San Diegans to keep an eye on the “breaking news” reports throughout the night.
The Cedar Fire raged through Scripps Ranch back in 2003. Many families who lost their homes didn’t have enough time to pack up their belongings. That is how fast this fires can travel because of the strong winds.
My family and I have already packed up our important papers and belongings, so we’re sort of prepared in case the authorities tell us we need to evacuate.
The potential is there, so one must be prepared…

Oh Dear! I had no idea. So what happened since then?
I am sorry I had not been visiting for a long while, and now am trying to catch up…
Hope you, your family and your home is alright?

KC: The fires are getting closer to my area. Evacuations are happening just north of me at Rancho Bernardo.
Back in 2003 when the Cedar Fire occured, I tried to stay as long as I could at home, even after the police told us to evacuate.
