[D28] Fires

[Robert Gibbs]

Hi all !
   
  Mine and Jeanne's well wishes and thoughts are with you and our San Diego neighbors.  We are in Rancho Penasquitos, only a few hundred yards south of the 56 Freeway, the southern most border for the evacuation zone of the Rancho Bernardo fires.  We have not had to evacuate but have been watching closely, just in case.
   
  For your information, and especially Bob Hubbard's for Rancho Bernardo, you can go to www.cbs8.com and scroll halfway down the middle of the page to see a list of homes that have been destroyed, to see if your's is still safe.
   
  The exact link is :  http://www.cbs8.com/misc/fires_oct_07/homes_destroyed.html
   
  Please do not hesitate to contact me at 760-902-7440 if there's anything we can do to help.
   
  Best regards,
   
  Bob Gibbs

        Hi Bill (and all),
   
  The fires are just awful, and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.  The Santa Ana winds are unpredictable, and they're reporting that the fires may reverse now with offshore winds.  Point Loma is socked in with heavy smoke and soot.  I spent the day yesterday at the yacht club to help out and see what folks needed.  Early week, we're short staffed... and the club's been swamped with evacuees.  We have at least three members that lost homes, one of the couples are SDSPS members.  Bob and Betsy Macomber lost their home in Ramona.  They are being real troopers, and you'd never know about their loss in just talking with them.  Their son came down from UC Berkeley yesterday to be with them.  Bob had planned to leave Monday on the Baja Ha Ha, but won't be going now.  As boaters do, they already have an offer for a place to live until June.  Their dock neighbor is going on the Ha Ha, and offered up his home.   They will need some major support in the very near future.  
   
  Bob Hubbard was evacuated, and it appears that Rancho Bernardo has pockets where they can return today.  Keep him in your prayers, as his home was in the burn area.  RB got hit hard.  Mel & Rhodo Monnes are in the area as well.  Mike & Carol Fontaine along with their son and family were evacuated, and will be able to return home today for sure. 
   
  I will send a few photos in a separate message, in case some of you do not want to receive them.  They're taken from my home, showing the changes from Sunday to Tuesday.  I wasn't home yesterday to be taking photos!
