I haven't heard anything about Carlsbad. Surprisingly though they are evacuating parts of Solana Beach and Del Mar. You can't go any further west then that. The problem is that there are 8 separate fires right now in San Diego and fixed wing planes aren't able to fly and drop water on the fire because of the winds. I'm getting nervous because the most southern fire has now jumped Otay Lakes which is directly east of me. It's still 10+ miles away but the Santa Ana winds are blowing towards me. I am probably going to be taking in relatives tonight that have been evacuated from their homes. When this is all said and done, the number of destroyed homes will be staggering.
