As long as I can
remember in the 16 years I’ve lived in North county, this is the hottest it has
been. Temperatures in this ball park are
normally in Sept / Oct. The winds are blowing
in from the East (the desert) and are called Santa Ana Winds. These are the drier and warmer winds. Humidity is about 5%. Everything is hot and brittle. One spark and everything goes up.
Many families have
lost homes today. Lots of brave souls
fighting these fires.
Carlsbad Unified
School District has done an excellent job keeping the kids from evacuated
schools safe and keeping the parents informed.
Traffic on the 78
east was packed at about 2pm.
