My parents and grandparents are back home as of this morning. There's no real damage at their respective residences, other than tons of ash and some minor damage from high winds. The National Guard had been patrolling Poway yesterday to keep out looters, so all seems ok on that front, as well.

Here's another map that includes details of the homes known to be destroyed:

As you can see, the north Poway/RB area got slammed.

The Witch fire has burned homes about 600 yards from our family home in Poway, CA. If you're a friend or relative following this, here's more info for you.

There's a fire burning about 10 miles from my parents' and grandparents' homes in San Diego. Apparently, the wind is raging and there's an evacuation alert.

If you're interested in following this, I've created a map of the fire area.
