I live in Scripps ranch but I didn't lived the Cedar Fire. However, our neighbours knocked on our doors on Sunday 21st warning us. We decided to pack and head west to avoid being waked up by sirens or by the police. We were afraid the fire get to us and the evacuation ways got clogged.
We spent the night with friends in Carmel Valley and wake up at 5:50 with news that north of 56 was being evacuated. We helped our friends to pack and head north on the 5.
Going north on the 5 by 9:00 am it was like getting into Mordor
We arrived at Carlsbad by 9:30am and it was like crossing to another country. Perfect sunny day, surfers, beach goers, starbucks coffee.
We planned and decided to go to Temecula where we have friends. We went through hwy76 and reach a parking lot at the 15. The fallbrock fire was crossing the highway. So we kept going to Pala through the mountains to reach Temecula by 12:00m.
