(Monday) According to the UCSD website classes have been canceled today (and now, they say, tomorrow, too) for the purpose of keeping university employees off the San Diego roadways. The campus itself is not in danger. There was an all campus praise service last night so Kirk didn't go to Flood, which is probably good -- the fewer people out on the roads the better.
The San Diego Union-Tribune says that the Southern California fires now cover an area the size of the entire city of Chicago. (There is a great little report about Eric Brue, an off-duty LA firefighter, who helped save 16 homes in the Scripps Ranch area when there were no local fire fighters available to respond. It's at the bottom of the Union-Tribune article).
The Ocean Beach webcam shows the smoky skies -- even over the ocean.
Another webcam with a local radio feed (KFMB) is broadcasting a steady stream of emergency information -- Link.
