Glad everyone is OK. My son had a soccer game out in San Bernardino on Sat. My wife called me from the 91 right around Gypsum Canyon, there was a 6 car pile up and traffic was horrible. She was able to get through in about 45 minutes or so.

A few images from this morning.

The hill North of us -- you can see the path of the fire burning the hillside. Most of these homes are ok, I think around 15 of them did burn. I feel for them!


This beauty was dropped off on Friday, it was cleaner than my car in the garage!

Great pics.

I did not realize it but you live a block away from a house we own on Triesta. I just went by there today to see if it was still standing. It was!! On he way out of the neighborhood the two Turbo's in your driveway caught my attention. Amazing how everything on both sides of the neighborhood were completely burned out. The fire department did an unbelievable job!!! My sister in law evacuated about 2 miles up La Palma and she did not think she was going to make it out alive. She showed us some crazy pictures.

God Bless

SOOO that was you driving by in the 993 cab. Next time, stop by now that you know of a fellow 993 knucklehead

After driving to and from Home Depot today to get a new HVAC filter, I am amazed at all of the burned out areas. This fire literally went right around us here, both sides! Wow.

Glad to hear all is well! I tried to call Robin, but couldn't get through. Scary $hit!

Glad you guys are o.k. My family and I went through this crap last year here in Rancho Bernardo (northern San Diego). Pretty scary and surreal for sure.

It is a really weird/sh*tty feeling running through your house deciding what to take and what to leave. Again, glad you and your fam are safe.

Chris,

I hope you don't mind, but I forwarded your pictures of the fire to a few friends. Next time I'll stop and say hello if I see your garage open.
