city on fire, 9 pm update

[jaina]

We are still safe. However, the evacuation line is creeping closer to our house (the southern boundary is now Sorrento Valley Blvd), so we are packing in earnest. If they say go, we want to be able to just go. But it's definitely not certain that we'll have to go.

Alex and Tree, and Jon, Janet, and Jonny all evacuated safely. If blusurfer and Dan end up having to evac due to the Fallbrook fire, we will likely end up with Alex and Tree at her parents' house.

I don't think we actually have your landline number. You can email it to me?

I think that one fire near San Marcos is contained, but I hadn't heard anything about the Fallbrook fire.

I just really want to go to sleep and ignore everything. But that would be a bad idea.

I'll email the landline number. We've been trying to use that to save on the cell phone overload. Jeff was trying to call my cell phone number around 7 pm and had trouble getting through.

Ack. I mean the Witch Fire. The north side of that one is freaky, but the Santa Anas blow the wrong direction for that one to really worry us. But it does anyway, since I am paranoid that way.

I think I am going to crash once I finish my last load of laundry, but I figure we will get a reverse-911 call if anything happens. (YAY landline! Paying for that damn thing is finally worth it.) Plus, I figure my neighborhood and the neighboring adjacents streets will get pretty noisy.

Call us if you need to come up, no matter what time. I'll be LJing and emailing until going to bed. I figure until midnight or so.

Got your email. Yeah, the Witch Fire is the scary one for us; it's already like halfway between the 15 and 5. It still has to cross two more freeways to get to us, but...ick.

I'm going to nap for a bit, but Rogue will be up. We'll call if anything changes.

Uhm, I think we have a landline number around here somewhere. Lemme find it and I'll email you.

Keep that landline on and available. That is where your reverse-911 call will come if anything happens. That cell phone with the Maryland area code doesn't help much. :-)

Dan has gone upstairs to read and will probably shortly crash. I'm going to sleep in a half hour or so.
