Yep, these are some pretty devastating fires; I think the numbers as of now are 11 deaths, 500+ homes destroyed, and 200,000+ acres burned. My house is in Fallbrook (13 miles S. of Temecula) and is about 10 miles away from the Valley Center fire; I can see the flames coming over the top of a mountain. School & football practice were canceled throughout the whole county, on account of the air quality is horrid and ash is blowing everywhere. Hope to God that the weather improves and they will able to get these fires under control.
