Fires are north and west of Vista. The wind is blowing east to west (from the desert) so the fires are moving away from Vista.

Terrible watching all of those houses burn. More than 30 homes burned so far

South Carlsbad area about 5 miles east of the I-5 is the worst area right now.

I've been worrying about this. Northern CA got very little rain this year too. It's gonna be a nasty summer.

Indeed so. We had horrible wildfires hit here the last two years in a row. Hoping this summer is much less exciting.

SoCal wildfires:they're not just for Santa Ana season anymore. But climate change is a hoax.

It is. Many of these areas have always burned. It's just now they are more populated. There's a reason water is pipes in from elsewhere. They had to do it because of the constant state of drought in SoCal year after year

This doesn't look as bad as 07, but this is way too early. And of course, range officers most likely kept firing. They bust open the crate, they are getting rid of it.

The conditions are causing problems with power distribution lines as well. I worked on the power line designs for camp Pendleton a couple years ago and some lines are shutting down.

Santa Ana Winds have brought record heat to much of southern and central California this week, with wind gusts in hilly areas reaching close to 90 miles per hour, as temperatures have soared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many areas. In San Diego, which is typically cooled by onshore winds off the Pacific Ocean to the west, the strong Santa Ana winds from the east have resulted in some of the hottest May temperatures on record since data collection began in 1896.

Man that's terrible. I visited the Carlsbad area last year, and it was a very picturesque place.
