I lived in Descanso at the time of this fire. I will never forget the evacuation, and all the devistation. My family is still in SD during this new fire and Thank God they're OK. My prayers are going out to my hometown.
Hey Gobo, I actually heard the same reports on the news here in San Diego when this footage was released. Pretty crazy. The news said this footage captured approximately 750 homes (which included several neighborhoods in rancho penasquitos) going up in flames.
Great vid! The people of Pine Valley are grateful we didn't lose any houses during that fire. Before I moved to Oregon, I was a frequent flyer to Monument Peak. Looks like you have 4 cameras on that tower?
I found this video is an apocalyptic view of your area. If you need some money for lost things, send it to documentation channels. greetings from Germany
Really, it's a time-lapsed video? Wow, wonder how I missed that. Seriously, I've better things to do than defend a comment from 4 months ago, so you win. How about a round of applause for Dylan everybody?!?!?!
I think the misconception is that somehow burning vegetation gives off more smoke then homes... but, as I've learned first hand, homes burn in a far more volatile way because they are built upwards with TONS of wood and plastics and plenty of room for the fire to "breath" due to hallways and bedrooms throughout the home. When the fires hit the homes, the flames go insane. When the vegetation is burning, it creates far more of a smooth, steady blanket of smoke.
Okay what was your point then? You do realize this was a time-lapse film right? 15 minutes on this video happens in 5 seconds, and you can identify neighborhoods catching on fire as "plumes", as opposed to the little puffs that individual homes give off (gobo was correct about that). In addition, you can also spot homes on fire by their mixture of black smoke in with the white (due to the plastics and other burning toxic building materials) as opposed to the white smoke of vegetation.
This is so beautiful. I don't think I'll forget this.

Have a dear friend in Julian who lost her house to the cedar fire in 2003. Great video.
Neat to see the low level winds traveling in a different direction than the upper level winds.
I know I'll never forget it, although I'd like to. I lived through it and had to evacuate. Luckily it didn't reach my neighborhood, but it came close.

i live about 15 miles away from the fire zone.
Right, I'm the idiot. I suppose you're suggesting the homes all combust at once. I get it, trust me, you just missed my point.
