Day 2

The San Marcos fire got worse today.  There are a bunch of fires but this one is the most worrisome for me.  It is the closest and also the worst one so far.  This scene is literally 8 miles from my house.  The winds are supposed to die down greatly tomorrow and stop on Saturday.  For now all is well but not over yet.  Even with them being able to lift with planes water from the nearby reservoir to put on it, it got so much worse.  Everywhere smells like smoke and ashes are falling from the sky.  My mother is very nervous which I hate but cannot do anything.  I keep her posted on it and keep my car packed to be ready.  They have a suspicion that this one may be arson.  It did not start in an unpopulated area and move to a populated one but did the reverse.  Believe it or not it is common for these fires to be started by arson - so twisted of people but true.  But for now I just hope for the continued safety that I have had so far.
