i've never seen anything like this in my life. i moved to san diego a year and a half ago from new jersey. the last time i smelled smoke in the air like this was 9/11, so there's a weird association to have.



my boss and a good friend of mine live in ramona, one of the hardest hit areas. word is that my boss's house is still standing - no word on the condition of her home, though. i haven't heard about my friend's house and if it is still standing. friends of friends no longer have homes. family members of friends of mine have been evacuated. i work in the staffing field, and many of our client companies have shut down, many of our consultants have evacuated.



most of my friends and i live closer to downtown, so we are out of harm's way (for now). my office has shut down early for the past 2 days - who knows if we'll even be open tomorrow, i mean, really, is anyone going to call to recruit or make sales calls when people have been evacuated and so many businesses are closed? that's ridiculous. and pretty heartless.



right now, i'm just starving for information, to find out where to donate, how to help, what i can do, what they need most...all that kind of stuff.
