Chula Vista

Closest we've come so far was the Cedar Fire back in 2003. We were under voluntary evacuation orders, had packed the SUV with as much as we could, and had inventoried and taken pictures of everything left in the house for insurance purposes.

When it was over it looked like it had snowed outside. Everything was covered with a half inch of ash.
