We can still see the fire from our house but doesn't seem to be traveling this way so that is a good thing... the winds are suppose to be here at least until 3:00 today but for now things are fine... those Santa Ana Winds really reak havoc because they get so strong but they come from the north east and the weather gets real hot we are in the 90's today. Our winds usually come from the ocean the south west but those are normal nothing like those crazy Santa Ana's. Well that's your weather lesson for day...lol.

This was the fire I was watching from our bedroom balcony last night and is still burning this morn... Winds still blowing around 30-40 mph and with so many fire crews out and fighting fires in so many different areas we aren't seeing any relieve until the winds die down and more fires get contained rather than starting. So many homes in San Diego Co, Malibu, Lake Arrowhead, on TMZ even Tori Spellings Inn in Fallbrook could be burnt down no one knows as of yet because of so many evacuations and road/freeway closures.
Fire breaks out west of Temecula
By: The Californian -
A fire broke out in the hills about two miles west of Temecula just after 11 p.m Monday west of Rancho California Road in the area of Via Barranca and Via Vaquero.
The fire was visible burning on a ridgeline and appeared to be heading northeast toward town, according to initial reports. Westbound Rancho California Road was closed, but residents of rural De Luz were streaming east into Temecula after being evacuated by Riverside County sheriff's deputies.
Deputies reported to Sheriff's Department dispatchers that all residents on Calle La Paz were evacuated, as were homes on Via Vaquero.
Yadira Perez, 18, of Fallbrook was at the Unocal station on Jefferson Avenue and Old Town Front Street waiting to hear back from two friends who were trapped in De Luz. They had left Fallbrook to get away from the fires there and then encountered the blaze in the hills west of Temecula.
Fire officials were reporting about 11:55 p.m. that the blaze was roughly 25 to 50 acres and spreading rapidly through heavy brush. At that point, fire officials reported that more than 190 firefighters had responded to battle the flames.
If the fire were to advance toward town, it could threaten Old Town Temecula or an industrial park that is home to International Rectifier, Temecula City Hall and The Californian's offices.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection officials were reporting that there were power lines down in the area of the fire.
