I left for Savannah on Saturday just at the beginning of it all. The fire came within blocks of my apt (with 2 of my 4 kilts inside).

I work in Rancho Bernardo and I know 4 people who have lost their homes. Another had significant damage to his house (deck and dining room doors...why the fire didn't take the rest of the house is anybody's guess) and lost a few more things to looters.

As of now, everyone is returning to their homes. Or what's left of them.

I didn't worry so much about my kilts, of course. I had some family photos that are more than 100 years old. Those matter more than anything else in the apt as far as I'm concerned.
