Robert - thanks for the link, I will check it out.

Denise - meant to mention I was so glad to hear that AA cooperated and your boss would be getting home soon. I'm sure his wife is frantic, as well as he.

Shirley - thanks for taking some time to update. It sounds just devestating. Thanks for sharing the info on Fallbrook with me. I know that on the East side of I15 there were numerous new communities going in the last time I was there all the way up the hillside, where it use to be miles of orange and avacado trees. My parents community was on the West side of I15/old 395, but basically right on the corner so to speak on Dulin Road, it doesn't sound good. I will have to see what else I can find out.

I emailed my neice and she did reply. She is back in their house, they lifted the evacuation on their neighborhood, Rancho Pinsaquitis, which apparently is just south of Rancho Bernardo. Things are still shaky, and she stayed home from work today just in case so she could get the dogs out if things changed for the worse. Her husband took the babyinto SD to her daycare, where apparently the air is a little better quality, and then he is at work nearby, so he could get to her if necessary. So at this point they are fine, although she says that things are still very unpredictable. She also said, though that the winds appeared to be slowing down and that there were several big water tankers coming in and they were glad for that.
