More likely it's past fires that serve as the reminder. The Cedar Fire here was devastating and is still current history in San Diego. We've seen these before and anyone who thinks it can't happen here is an idiot.

I'm surprised that so many here appeared to have been caught short and had to pack in literally 10 minutes. When I smelled the smoke Sunday I finished my workout and then went home to finish packing. We never got the evac call.
