Carlsbad, CA Wildfires

Sister Golden Hair · ‎03-09-2010

My sister-in-law called to tell us that there were wildfires there. Her friend is packing in case she has to leave.

Just wondering if anyone lives there or close and to make sure you are ok?

So scary. I just spent a lot of time in the little beach town. I hope your SIL gets through this okay.

Just waiting to hear from her. I wish she would call.

I talked to my sister-in-law and at this point the fire in Carlsbad is under control.

Carlsbad isn't a little beach town anymore. It goes many, many miles east now, which is where the fires are.

I just got an email from my friends in Carlsbad. Their area was told to be ready to evacuate when the word came, but so far they have been save. They said the air quality is horrible, and they are leaving on a cruise they booked way ahead. They are glad to get away from the smoke filled air, but they aren't sure if they will have a house when they return. Their friends are keeping close watch on their house and will notify them immediately if evacuation takes places in their neighborhood. Scary.

Many, many miles east?

Evacuation orders were lifted for Carlsbad yesterday evening. As of early this AM the Poinsettia Fire is 85% contained. There is speculation that some of these fires may have been intentionally set.

I read that they have arrested a 17 and 19 year old pair of males. They are suspected of starting several of the fires going on in the south now. I just don't get the mentality. What do they do? Just get up in the morning and decide to destroy peoples homes and lives? ${#emotions_dlg.sad}$

Although Carlsbad has 7 miles of coast, it is over 39 square miles now. And I can believe it, I had to go to a shopping center way out there. Without a map, I would have been lost.
