Fire Storm 2007
A quarter million people are evacuating areas of San Diego County. We knew it was coming and now, one of the worst-case wildfire scenarios imaginable is spreading through parts of Southern California.
While the rest of us stare at blue skies from cubicles at air-conditioned workspaces, here's a shortlist of media, official, and citizen coverage to keep us posted:
CBS2/KCAL9 has multiple live video feeds available here, ABC7 is live here. KNX 1070 is doing a commendable job, with several reporters on duty for over 24 hours straight now. KNX has been broadcasting commercial-free since the fires broke early Sunday. Listen in here. KFWB's stream is here.
LA City Fire Department is now live with the real-time alerts feed we told you about last summer. Subscribe via e-mail or Twitter.
SignOnSanDiego is in breaking coverage mode via text-only Fire Blog updates. With 250,000 people being evacuated from areas of San Diego County, we shudder to think of Qualcomm Stadium as a Superdome-like staging area for evacuees (or are we going to call them refugees)?
