San Diego Fire – Satellite Images

San Diego is ablaze with 250,000 evacuated. The satellite image to the left shows smoke rolling over parts of the North County area of San Diego, including Cardiff and Encinitas. Family members in Encinitas area claim the smoke is so thick they took to watering their lawns to avoid ash burn. Great idea when all the available water is being used to fight the fire.

So far schools are closed, Qualcomm stadium is set up for evacuation, a first ever, and Del Mar fairgrounds is housing 11,000 animals, and is now full.
