Left

A fire started on the corner of our street. It started from some flaming material that flew over all the way from one of the first fires. I was actually taking a nap and Cerise came home kind of freaking out. She told me about the fire on the corner that was spreading really fast. We rushed to pack up stuff as a police car came through our complex telling everyone they needed to leave. That actual fire was contained pretty quickly and it looks like our apartments are safe. By the time it was contained we had already thrown stuff in Cerise's car and left to go to her boyfriend Justin's apartment. There are many houses that we could have gone to stay at of people from the church. But instead we just decided to get out of San Diego and we're now at Cerise's house in Orange County. Our other roomie Jackie decided to stay at her sorority house near SDSU. The only freeway left open to get out of San Diego was the 5 North so it was very slow, but moving. Listening to the radio on the way out of San Diego they were evacuating areas only a couple of miles away from Justin's apartment
Almost all of the schools in San Diego county have been closed, including my school SDSU. So it doesn't hurt to be here at least until tomorrow.

Here's some facts for San Diego at the moment:

- The worst fires the city has EVER seen
- At least 14 fires are burning in Southern California
- At least one person has been killed and dozens have been injured
- 260,000 people have evacuated.
- over 145,000 acres of san diego are completely burned.
- At least 655 homes have been burned
- over 100 businesses are gone.

PLEEEASE pray!
