San Diego is Burning

4 fires started in the forest...then they spread and homes started to get evacuated...when I woke up the sky was all orangey-red. I went outside and there was thick black smoke blocking the sun.

Ash started falling everywhere. The sidewalks look like huge ash trays. It looked like it was snowing there was so much ash falling. The air smells like a campfire but like you were smelling it from right over the fire.

I'm okay. I'm sufficiently far away and unless the winds change directions, I don't think I'll have to evacuate. But the fire's already jumped over the highway, which I thought would be a good barrier.
