Fires, fires everywhere

While we in L.A. are consumed with our little wimpy Buckweed and Malibu fires, turns out the party is really going on down in San Diego land where there are seven fires burning, and the Harris and Witch fires are chewing up more scenery than Keanu Reeves in all the Matrix movies. More than a quarter million people have been evacuated from SD county and officials are preparing for the worst fire ever. Yes, ever -- which includes that devastating fire in 2003 that killed people and leveled forests.
The San Diego Union-Tribune has better coverage, natch. And this scary quote:
“This fire will probably be the worst this county has ever seen – worse than the Cedar fire,” Sheriff Bill Kolender said.
The real question is, what does one do with 250,000 displaced people, their dogs and cats, and SUVs full of stuff?
