The main San Diego library is about a mile from the stadium where a lot of
people are temporarily housed.  My friend on staff says everyone who can is
expected to work. Her house is ok, but she knows one or two staffers have
been burnt out.

Unlike the news portrayals, the entire city of San Diego is NOT in flames.
But with the weather conditions...

 It reminds me of 9/11 when my family in Michigan thought the entire city
of NY had been destroyed after the WTC buildings fell. From the narrow view
we get on that little old tv screen, perceptions cansometimes be way off.
