As several of you have noticed, some of the web sites listed under the “Wildfire Information” link at right are not working. This is because of the high number of visitors at the moment. People hungry for information have driven my blog's traffic, and my Lyons Peak cameras traffic, to more than 30 times their normal level (but still holding up just fine). I can only imagine what those information web sites must be experiencing, and I'm not surprised they're having capacity troubles. With a quarter million people evacuated already just in San Diego County, it's easy to imagine they are getting many millions of hits. Just for example, I've been unable to get MODIS thermal imaging data since 6 AM because of traffic problems&helllip;
Any word on Jamul evacuations? A friend on Lyons Valley Rd. Near Jamul Highlands said they are going door to door and asking them to leave immediately. Can't find any info online about this area and have many relatives friends near the elementary school.
ReplyDeleteWe just heard from our neighbor confirmation that parts of Jamul are being evacuated. That same neighbor tells me that Steele Canyon High School (an evacuation center) is itself being evacuated. From the Lyons Peak cameras, I can't see why the authorities would be concerned about Jamul, much less Steele Canyon, which means they must know something I don't...
