The air was awful this morning. We had all the windows shut and I could still see smoke in the house.We were going a little stir crazy so we tried to get out of San Diego today. We were all packed and ready to hit the road for Palm Springs when we found out the I-15 North was shut. So we’re back at home.

Here’s the situation via Google Earth with an overlay of the U.S. Forest Service’s active mapping program (Click image for larger version):

 

The closest the fire came was about 7.5 miles early Tuesday morning. The closest active hot spot is about 13 miles away.
