Fires are ravaging Southern California at the moment, appearing almost out of nowhere and being fanned by seasonal Santa Ana winds. Right now it’s about one mile from my sister-in-law’s house (2.5 miles yesterday), but so far she hasn’t been told to evacuate.
The website of the San Diego Tribune has produced this very helpful - and well-designed - map that shows where the fire is, pictures and links to videos of houses, where the evacuation areas are, and where shelters are. Nicely done mash-up with Google maps, and quickly done too.
