California Gardening: The fire, 1 by tabasco

Hi, All--

So sorry to hear of the scary fires and know that some of our DGers have had to evacuate and are full of uncertainty about what's going on with their homes and communities. I wish all of you in harms way prayers and best of luck.

I have been trying to follow the North County news since my my sister lives in Fallbrook on Flowerwood Lane--her home borders the Golf Club of California which is near Gird and Pala Roads. She was able to get word to my other sister that she had to evacuate but we have no other info (bad cell phone connections, etc.) ( I am sure she is safe, but I am concerned that we are having trouble following the paths of the fires and things can turn uglier in just a few minutes.)

I have tried to log on to some of the websites for information (thanks so much for posting these!) about her area, but have had no luck due to overloaded circuits and all else, too.

So, I was wondering if anyone of you in the Fallbrook area has some idea of where the fires are in relation to her home? And if they are being contained at all. Have the winds died down, and so forth? Thank you for any information you can come up with.

Best to all, t.

the view east from her pool and garden--some of this area is on fire, I think....
