My problem right now is air quality. The winds changed during the night, and now I can’t go outside or open any windows. I have an air purifier going, so things are okay inside [my new A/C gives me migraines, dammit.] But the big concern is the power grid.

Making Up for Lost Power: One of San Diego Gas & Electric’s major power lines into San Diego County has been completely shut down by the Harris Fire, but Chief Operating Officer Mike Niggli said the power line suffered minimal permanent damage and should be fully operational within 24 to 48 hours.

Meanwhile, power is being sent up to the county from Mexico, Mr. Niggli said, and the Navy has even fired up its boilers and on-board generators on its San Diego-based vessels to reduce demand on the grid.

Our other main power line is operating sporadically because of a fire at Camp Pendleton. Oy! We’re being asked to conserve as much as possible, so I’m going to shut down the computer and check in only periodically. I’ll update the blog when I can.
