While the San Diego Fires are going on

So after entering in a update on this site. Everything begins to turn haywire. My roommate goes to the grocery store to find no groceries left. Bottom feeders are trying to sell masks at $2.00 a piece when its only 10 cents to make. And everybody in my neighborhood supposedly had to evacuate.

To start off, the power goes out in our neighborhood. So my roommates and I get concerned and start packing the most important stuff. I packed the items I mentioned in the previous posts. I double checked to make sure that my friends and family were ok. And really we just waited until we got the signal to leave. On the news, I couldn't believe they did this. But one of the reporters were reporting in front of his own house burning down. That guy had a lot of willpower to report his own property being destroyed. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to take it and break down in front of the camera.

It was around 8:00 PM where one of neighbors came up to us and told us that they got the reverse 911 call telling them to leave. If you could only imagine a whole neighborhood all at once packing their stuff up, everybody's garage is open and files and clothes are being stuffed in the trunks of the cars. Now as me and the roommates went our seperate ways. One of our neighbors said that the news just announced that they made a mistake and we didn't have to evacuate. Still the fires were around the Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Poway area which is rediculously close to Mira Mesa. I didn't know what the night was going to bring.

Regardless of the information I received, I headed down to national city to my homies pad. The freeways were surprisingly open and there wasn't any traffic going South. Now when I got there, both of us thought our area was from a distance. We hung out and tried to fall asleep around 2:00 PM. Around 4:00 PM, the neighbors start to stir up a commotion and my homie's parents are in a panic. The neighbors are saying a fire just started about 5 miles away from us. I couldn't fall asleep with all this stuff going on. The outside air became more smokey and I realized I had to evacuate the safe area I was just at. Thankfully my homie in Mission Valley said that the doors are open. So I can roll there the minute we get the signal.

Stayed up till around 6 in the morning. My homie said that he'll wake me up if we get the signal to leave. So I crashed. Basically waking up everytime I hear the phone going off, wondering if its the call to get out of there. So my naps were in one hour periods. Come noontime, I finally woke up, caught up on sleep. No signal has been made. And I'm still in national city. My truck is covered in ash, the sky is grey.

My prayers go out to everybody who lost their homes and to the ones that lost their lives.
