Our dear friends BriWei, Mrs. BriWei and the rest of the BriWei clan were on my mind when I first heard of the fires that are raging in the San Diego area.
I checked the Google map and thought that where they were was away from the danger. But I guess I was wrong, because I just got a message from them saying that they are safe in Denver because they evacuated the area. Mrs. BriWei reports bad air quality and being within 2 miles of one of the fire areas.
I wanted my blog readers to know that our dear friends are safe in another state while these crazy fires burn on. Their house is OK for the moment as well, but who knows what will happen?
Friends, you’re in our thoughts. So glad you’re out of there for the time being, and thank you for letting us know. Please keep in touch.
Here is a Google map of the fires. You can see they are close to where our friends live, contrary to what I believed earlier. I can’t believe how large an area is affected.

Thanks for posting this. We are trying to keep the word spread as far and wide as we can. We also have feet on the ground in the area feeding us updates.

Most of my closest friends are in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai areas, but I have several in points south of there as well and have been keeping the cell lines burning checking in with everyone. Most of the people north have missed fire damage, except those in the areas of Oxnard near Malibu, but all of them are experiencing life under a huge cloud of soot and ash filling the sky.
Posted by: leslie at October 25, 2007 11:31 AMOh, Brian, thank god you're safe. I was wondering how you were doing out there.
I heard yesterday they were evacuating parts of Orange county, where my brother lives, but I haven't heard any more about that.
Denver? Did you score World Series tickets?
Posted by: Patti M. at October 25, 2007 11:48 AMMy, that's an enormous affected area.
Posted by: Mike at October 25, 2007 1:40 PMMike - at one point, over half a million were evacuated in the greater San Diego area.
