Moonie is at her home currently and has not evacuated. Cowboy and his son had made a trip to the ranch and are now headed back home. Moonie was getting a bit worried about him because he wasn't answering his cell phone. Turns out he left the cell phone at the house with Moonie, but he called her on his son's phone to say they were headed back.

Moonie has no power at her house currently and is getting by on flashlight power.

Glenn, I'm e-mailing you my home/cell numbers in case Moonie's power went out before she got my e-mail. If you can (and don't mind) please pass it along to her, so she has both our numbers. Then she has two avenues of contact, just in case she loses contact with you.

Just got off the phone with my Aunt Nadine, she's at her son Johns home and is doing better. Has chest pains and breathing is very difficult. Her and her husband lived in Valley Center for many years until he died and she moved to Escondido, their house (in Valley Center) was burned down today. My cousin Larry who was evacuated from Valley Center ealier today has lost his home.

Aunt Dot in Santee is not doing very well and they have lost power.

Glenn & Who, when you talk to Moonie, give her my love & if she needs anything give me a call!

CJR!!!!! I am worried about you and hope you check in soon!

Hi everyone! I got home about 1/2 hour ago. The power went off and I didn't want to wait around any longer.

They got the fires out at the Walmart and condos down the road and everyone is safe. Pretty scary but better safe than sorry. My son and I just wanted to go to my brother's. I could not believe how bad it was driving through Rancho and Ontario today. Much worse air quality than here.

I am really happy my friend from Sky Forest and her daughter got down the mountain! She called me (thank goodness for cell phones!) and is at my house with me now. They had to go the back way down through Big Bear and instead of a 1/2 hour drive it took them 3 hours. But they are safe! Not sure about her house yet, can't get any info. I really feel like there is nothing else to burn in this area now, at least brush, hope I am right.

My prayers and good thoughts to everyone who is being affected by this and hope that it is over quickly. Thanks so much for caring. It really means alot. Glad Moonie is ok at home!

Take care everyone. Will talk tomorrow.

It was great to hear from you Cjr!

I'm glad that your friend got down from Sky Forest, even if it took her 3 hours...wow! I hope her home stays safe! Egbob and I were up at Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear a few weekends ago and took that drive up the 30 along the Rim of the World Highway. I imagine it's all pretty much burn area up that way by now. I hope people in Lake Arrowhead get out safely and don't end up losing their gorgeous homes. This has been an amazing day.

I still can't believe these fires...they are just incomprehensible to me. I really hope everyone is well. I'm sending my best wishes to all of you....shoot, I'd even offer a space in Hollywood to sleep if you need it. Please take care everyone!

More on San Diego Fires

here's an excerpt from the plane cash earlier today

A small plane attempting to land at Montgomery Field missed the runway due to the smoke, cartwheeling across Highway 163 south of Balboa Avenue shortly after 2 p.m., said officer Phil Konstantin of the California Highway Patrol. The pilot, the only one aboard, was able to extricate himself and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

The plane caught fire in the crash and was destroyed.

Area residents were asked to stay off major roadways to leave them clear for emergency equipment and to avoid unnecessary use of water to maintain water pressure for firefighters.

San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy asked area employers to let their employees stay home on Monday.
