Harang update
Rob Butcher has gotten in touch with Aaron Harang, who lives in the San Diego area. Harang, his wife and baby are fine, but have moved to a hotel just to be sure. There are fires around his house, but it is safe for now.
UPDATE: Just talked to Aaron. He said he and his family are back at their home. The fires were as close as 10 miles away, when they left, but then they moved closer to where they'd gone up north. More than anything, he said, wasn't the threat of fire, but the air quality. He said when they returned home, you could see some cars covered in ash. As they drove they would drive on I-5 right next to the water and couldn't see the ocean, while the National Guard was driving down to go help out the people of San Diego.
He also said the response around town has been really uplifting, with people helping each other and all the people at Qualcom Stadium.
The Harangs are back at home and after a few restless days, feel better and the air is improving.
Aaron said he's talked to Mike Gosling too, because Mike also lives in Southern California and Mike is doing OK as well.
Aaron said to say thanks to all those who have asked about him and his family.

I am glad everything turned out well for the Harangs.
