So I just got back from checking the status of my house...
well there's bad news and good news -

Bad news: my house has burned, not entirely, but quite a bit. We weren't able to go inside yet due to the hazardous environment, but we could see half the house was blakc and there were no leaves on any of our trees.

Good news: insurance will take care of a lot!
Good news#2: I got to talk to the Governator! He was in Rancho Bernardo (my town, a san diego suburb). He is extremely serious and cold blooded, but he talks just like he does on TV and he's pretty cool! :P

So that's it...at least the house is still standing! So many people lost their homes completely.. its so devastated out there. It's like a different planet.

Best wishes to you all in SoCal!
