There are 9 fires in San Diego County, but the information on the map is hours out of date:
1. The Harris fire is 20,000 acres and is burning in the southern part of the county near the Mexican border in Portrero, Alpine, El Cajon and Campo.
2. The Witch Creek fire which is what they're calling the southern flank of the one that blazed up from Ramona yesterday and is a massive fire burning into Rancho Bernardo and is 10,000 acres.
3. The San Pasqual fire is the new name for the northern flank of the fire, burning close to the Wild Animal Park- I have no idea what they're going to do with the animals at the park, but they run several programs involving near extinct species. There is a planned precautionary evacuation of Pomerado Hospital critically ill patients and a large-scale evacuation may be necessary.
4. A fire on Palomar Mountain between Escondido and Valley Center.
5. The Fallbrook fire which began early this morning.
6. A fire in the Cuyamaca Mountains near Descanso.
7 and 8. Two fires in San Marcos, one raging in San Elijo Hills- eastern La Costa.
9. A new fire in Valley Center/Lake Wohlford which is already blowing across I-15 north of us.
We have blue sky directly above us and to the west, but southeast of us it is gray-brown, dense smoke. Some air tankers are able to go up for the northern fires, but many are still grounded due to high winds.

I am in Huntington Beach and I can smell it too. I have the windows all shut tight. The wind is blowing something awful-- there are alot of trees down and some of my daughters friends called last night and said they had lost power. Our lights flickered a couple of times, but we didnt lose power. A very small price compared to those who are at risk of losing their homes. Praying that everyone is safe and that these horrible winds die down soon

My parents live in HB. I'd rather be there right now than here
I want my mommy and daddy... 
The smell is getting worse here.. NEW Santiago (Orange County): 7,500 acres at 30 percent contained. This fire is 12 miles east of Santa Ana. Several communities along the Santa Ana Canyon corridor are threatened. Strong winds with gusts of up to 73 miles per hour were reported. Hwy 241 is closed from Santiago Canyon to Hwy 133
San Diego fires are out of control.
My son said is office, which is in La Jolla, is completely shut down. He is at home in MIssion valley but he says it is pretty bad.
My other son is driving from Santa Barbara back to SD today and I bet he will be a tough ride.

This is just horrible and the worst thing is......I can't find anything on my news about it. I saw a bit of a news conference earlier....but every station should be covering this.
My thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this.
