Jim Ward showed me some photos his Dad took in his neighborhood in San Diego, and kindly let me share them here.

They're apparently on evacuation watch, and looking at the photos, I'm not surprised:

Vince also pointed me to an excellent slide show (free registration) in the New York Times today. Those Santa Ana winds are really fanning the flames...
