Light rain falling in several fire areas. So far it's just enough to get the ground wet but it's a blessing. I guess the fire is falling out of the news but most places are still burning.
Roads are opening back up and people are going back to their houses in many areas. The complaints at the border with Mexico are easing. Many Mexicans were upset at the road closures because they could not come north for the free food and clothing at Qualcomm Stadium and other evacuation centers. They did get some help from Mecha and La Raza and now they are getting their fare share of the relief supplies and are happier now with the results. When they started arriving they did complain that much of the food was fresh food and for as much as they could carry away it would be difficult to get it back across the border. They are requesting that people donate more canned food. They have also complained about being delayed getting to the evacuation centers, that fire victims got most of the clothing being donated. Also that late fire on the Marine base closed highway 5 and stopped the buses from the Los Angles. There were complaints that again the fire victims were getting most of the donated food, shelter and clothing. It got harder to filter out the illegals because Mecha gave them maps and taught them what to say when they got to the evacuation centers so they would not be turned away. At least for the most part the evacuations went well and it was a case of people helping people. Many people did not donate to the Red Cross because of the corruption during the October fires. They came directly to the displaced people and helped them person to person. It really worked. These evac centers looked like family gatherings and it made all the difference. We had 22 people at our house with five motor homes parked on the property, 15 horses 12 pigs, a dozen goats, bunny rabbits and a 8 coyotes. Home Depot donated extension cords, ground tarps, a canopy and other stuff.
