If you are concerned

I am fine.

In spite of UCSD being closed and people being evacuated a couple of miles from where I live, I have not had to go anywhere.

I went down to Qualcomm Stadium and the response is both amazing and amazingly unorganized. When you have that volume of people you need an organized situation and a large number of mandatory evacuations does not lend itself to an organized situation. What was impressive was the number of volunteers willing to help. It seemed at times that there were more volunteers than there were evacuees.

If you want more information on the situation I suggest a couple of sites:
San Diego Union-Tribune Fireblog
CBS News 8
Google Maps of the fires
KPBS
Random Guy's
LA Times
