Hi Jim,

Most of Ramona is ok, the Cedar fire went to the south of the
populated areas, and the Paradise fire was to the north. The center
isn't in Ramona proper, but I think it's ok. It wasn't even evacuated
(except for 2 roads). I climbed up one of the local mtns (which is now
on fire i think) and the city looked ok for the most part.

the location of the rehab center:

RMN is functional, it's far enough away from the fire. It's also a CDF
air base so they'll do everything they can to keep it open. (decent
airport too, just expanded with a new tower opening in the spring)

My sister runs a wild animal rehabilitation center (part of the Fund for
Animals) that is a stone's throw from RNM. The fires out there are getting
uncomfortably close to the rehab center.

Phones are down and my sister's cell phone is on and off. The only news I
can get is what is shown on CNN or FOX.

Is there anyone out there that can give me a birds eye view of the
destruction in Ramona?

Thanks,
