<p>Thanks to all who are posting. We have a son in Claremont and appreciate the information. My thoughts and prayers go to all who are being affected and to the firefighters trying to protect them. Son flew in on Saturday on a connecting flight from Phoenix which had many firefighters heading out to help.</p>
<p>OMG OMG OMG----just walked on my deck and…DRIZZLE!!! wooohooo</p>
<p>^ ^ </p>
<p>Seeee? O ye of little faith!</p>
<p>coureur, you were saying?
</p>
<p>Never say never.</p>
<p>Anyway, we in other parts of the country are rooting for you.</p>
<p>(sorry for post-post)</p>
<p>Now hoping for a downpour…with no mudslides or flooding… come on Jimera</p>

<p>I’m hoping for a downpour too, but a light drizzle isn’t going to douse the fires or even count as measurable rain. And we haven’t even seen drizzle yet in San Diego. I’ll count it as actual rain if I can skip one watering of my lawn.</p>
<p>I’m on the westside. No drizzle, no sun…</p>
<p>The difference between these fires and earthquakes is simple: You don’t know when and where or how strong an earthquake can be. With fires there are smoke alarms, firemen banging on your doors (firepeople?), and the media to alert you.</p>
<p>Sun just poked out here a bit. But it’s supposed to be a little cooler today (mid nineties versus 100s.) They say it will take two weeks to contain this fire.</p>
<p>wooo hoooo the gigantic Martin Mars water drop plane with 7000 gallons of water for Mt Wilson just flew over head!!! I think they are taking a very impressive stand up the hill!</p>
