It's nice to be able to wash away the ashes & dead leaves so you can breathe again outside -- & get the vacuuming done inside. (When the wind is howling so fiercely, there's no point in cleaning or vacuuming inside or out because it won't last five minutes.)

The winds have started to shift in San Diego as well. The Harris fire that was directly east of me has now moved northeast and also south in to Mexico. I'm going to wait a few days to try to clean up the ash because it all comes back in a matter of hours. These fires have been indiscriminate in their path. My cousin in Ramona still can't get home but found out her house was spared. The houses on her side of the street are okay but almost every home across the street was completely burned to the ground. So far over 1300 homes in San Diego County have been lost.
