That was my concern with the winds... they were blowing SW, which fans the flames towards Vista. My other thought was that it would follow the riverbed like it did a few years back, where it almost reached Rancho Del Oro. I'm glad you are safe!

The winds subsided for us in Vista pretty early yesterday and right now our humidity is at 16%. We just need to get through today and tomorrow, and then we have rain in the forecast all weekend, which I'm welcoming with open arms.

The firefighters across southern CA and those coming in from other areas to help have been amazing and really done a great job at mitigating the majority of the fires expediently.
