Fallbrook Fire
Thanks for all the comments and emails. We are not out of the danger completely but the news channels have helicopter up and flying over the areas in Fallbrook.
Finally, the local stations are showing what is going on.
I am going to sign off on this blog, unless something turns for the worse.
My prayers are with all those who have suffered in this disaster.

Fallbrook Fire--terrible job by local T.V.
The air quality is terrible here at 76 and East Vista Way. Can't see the river valley. Thank God the winds are down.
The news coverage on this fire has been horrible!!!! I give them an F for not being prepared and for being stupid.
1st off, Google has an excellent map system that can easily be projected on the T.V. Showing a map of the entire county is okay, but hey journalist, how about some details!
Also, reporters in the field, have you ever heard of a hand held GPS?. It can tell you exactly where you are--and with a boyscout compass and a Thomas brothers map you could give out your correct location and avoid giving false directions, i.e. pointing north when in fact you were point almost due west.
There have been some great comments on my postings. It was great to get almost immediate feed back for those who had questions from those still in the Fallbrook area.
Part of my evacuation go bag in the future will be a hand held GPS, compass, and some good maps and bincoculars.
