I got a message last night from my friend who lives in San Diego, saying ‘ so far, so good’ in the face of these phenomenal wild fires.
She has sent me a few links to ways that she is keeping up with the news, not least, her local PBS station’s interactive Google map that is being updated regularly.
Part of me is horrified as I look at it, and yet a small geek inside is going “it is so cool that they’re doing this.”
The area where she’s staying still seems to be OK and she has instituted a ‘no news is good news’ policy, since the police have asked people to stay off their cell phones.
Still.
