Imagine

Imgaine if everyone in Reno and Sparks - including the north valleys, the south meadows, everyone - was ordered to leave their homes because of wildfires.

That's about 500,000 people, and that's how many people have had to evacuate in San Diego.

Imagine every car you pass on the road, all heading out of town at once with their dearest posessions, not knowing if they'd see their home again. Everyone in the store, everyone at your school, until the valley was deserted.

They're the worst fires in San Diego History. And the evacuation has doubled from yesterday, when it was "only" 250,000.

It's overwhelming. Do you think the comparison to Hurricane Katrina is valid?
