The evacuation orders have been lifted in several areas today. On another hand, some more rural areas were ordered to evacuate toward the evening (e.g. Julian).
So far, there was only 1 death directly related to the wildfire. The rest may or may not have been related (e.g. heart attacks). The number of injured in the fire is also relatively low: the last numbers I heard were: 22 civilians and 5 firefighters. I feel for those who lost their homes. As for the news reports, it is impressive how many times over last two days the information given by different sources was different from each other.

As of the most recent news report I heard (ten minutes ago), 1500 homes have been destroyed and 500,000 people are evacuating San Diego. Only a few dead so far, thankfully. This is pretty bad. Be mindful of all those people who have lost their homes, give them your thoughts.
