As you may have heard there have been terrible fires here in southern California. So far about 1000 homes have been burned and hundreds of thousands of acres. The nearest fire is 5-10 miles away. About 300,000 people have been evacuated. So far here in Oceanside, all has been quiet! Hopefully it will stay that way. Here is a picture of a friend's house near David's work. David said yesterday that he went to the roof of his building and could see the fire. The electricity was out for quite awhile as well. They have contained that fire though. They have warned if the winds don't die down there is a possiblity that the fires could go all the way to the ocean. We're pretty close to the ocean, and it doesn't look as if the fire is going to move much this way. We'll wait and see. I'll keep you updated.
Hay unos fuegos aqui en el sur de California. Los fuegos se destruieron casi 1000 casas y muchas acres de la tierra acerca de San Diego. Aqui en Oceanside todo esta normal. Ojala, se queda asi. Aqui es una foto de la casa de una amiga que vive acerca del trabajo de David. Ayer David me dijo que puede ver el fuego en el techo del edificio de su trabajo. Pero hoy dia ese fuego ha parado. Si los vientos no se paren, dicen los profesionales que el fuego puede ir hasta el mar. Estamos solamente 5 milles del oceana entonces ojala no viene mas cerca. Voy a escribir mas tarde cuando escucho mas noticias. 
This is what the sky looked like yesterday from our apartment. Today we woke up and the entire sky was smoky and red. Yuck!
Ayer el cielo estaba asi, pero hoy dia despertamos con todo el cielo con humo rojo.
