This image, from NASA’s Earth Observatory web site, is of the fires in California and was captured at 1:55 p.m. U.S. Pacific on Monday. Places where MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spec- troradiometer) detected actively burning fires are outlined in red. Thick streamers of smoke unfurl over the Pacific Ocean. Visit the page.

Radio coverage continues on Clear Channel’s seven San Diego stations: KOGO, KLSD, Channel 933, Star 94.1, 101.5KGB, US 95.7, and 105.3.
The Clear Channel studios experienced a power outage during the morning hours. Most stations stayed on the air with dead silence.

San Diego 1700 has been wall to wall with media partners at KUSI-TV. Mark Larson writes that the coverage was the “same with our sister stations XX Sportsradio 1090 and 105.7″ and will continue today. Mark adds: “We’re at the Manchester Grand Hyatt this morning broadcasting from the breakfast for hundreds of displaced families who are staying here in the hotel.” California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to stop by.

KyXy did yeoman’s work with Sonny West, Kevin Dean, John Q. Lawrence and Susan DeVincent. Sister station Radio Sophie covered the fires as well.

Cliff and Company kept the home informed at KSON. FM 94/9 and KiFM were mixing music and information.

KPRi’s Madison and the station crew were behind the mic during the day.

Stay Safe, Stay Tuned.

SDRadio returns later in the week. Be safe.

From John Van Zante: “Helen Woodward Animal Center has begun a full evacuation of all animals, staff and volunteers.

Our Exotic pets will be loaded onto our AniMobile and driven to the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The other small animals will be going to various locations where space is available. (We’ve been told that the Del Mar Horse Park is now full.)

No thoughts about when we will be able to return.

Winds continue to increase and we’re told that the fire moving from Rancho Bernardo toward Rancho Santa Fe will hit our area if it continues on its present path.
