There are a couple fires out northeast of San Diego, a good hour away from me so all good here.
There was a fire 1.8 miles from my place yesterday on a hill in a pretty densely populated area. SDFD got it under control pretty quickly (Friars Fire was what they were referring to it as ICYMI). There is a huge apartment complex at the bottom of that hill, a mall across the street and a massive condo complex at the top of the hill. My understanding is that some of the apartments did burn.
I posted this before but will repost here because it's hard to go look for it but this is a dashboard if you want to keep track of the fires in CA

It's dry AF here. My cracked lips had just healed from the previous two weeks when the humidity returned over the weekend then I woke up yesterday parched and feeling like a human raisin. I'm over it. I don't know how people live in the desert.
