  WISH WE COULD FURNISH HOUSING, BUT WE ARE STILL TORN UP FROM WATER DAMAGE.  WE WERE WARNED NOT TO GO OUTSIDE IF ONE IS PREGNANT,  OR HAVE LUNG PROBLEMS.  THE FIRE HAS FLARED UP TO THE EAST OF US.  MANY ARE WITHOUT POWER.  EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASKED TO CONSERVE ENERGY.  DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR THE GARDENS WE VISITED WHILE IN CARLSBAD.

  The Diehls thank the commandr and friend Bill Johnson for his concern about how this horrible disaster affecting all of us. We, in south Carlsbad, were notified yesterday morning that we should do a voluntary evacuation. We attended a scheduled excom mtg at Adriaan's house and spent the night there.Our area was engulfed in smoke, the sun was a red ring, and falling ashes, but the nearest fire was in Olivenhain and Rancho Santa Fe several miles away. There were no embers flying anywhere near us. 
  To avoid the smoke we are now in our boat and will stay here until the smoke will clear. The Santa Ana winds are dying down and just now here the wind is coming from NW, what should help the fight against the fire. 
  Thank you again,
   
  Van and Cida
