Named the Cedar Fire, this fire was started around sunset on October 25 by a lost hunter. Wind gusts from the northeast over 30 mph began within 2 hours of the fire's start. Atmospheric conditions remained favorable for rapid fire growth for the four days following with  maximum temperatures ranging between 88 and 98, and minimum relative humidity around 15%. During the first 36 hours, the fire grew at a rate of 6000 acres/hour. At one point it had a 45 mile long flaming front and threatened to merge with the Paradise Fire to the north and the Otay Fire to the south. During the month of October, it consumed 275,833 acres and destroyed: 2403 residential, commercial, and industrial buildings; 2725 accessory buildings; 3302 vehicles, travel trailers, boats, and tractors; 500 power poles; and several miles of utility and highway infrastructure. It damaged another 155 residential, commercial, and industrial buildings; 16 accessory buildings; and 11 vehicles, travel trailers, boats, and tractors. Of the acreage consumed, 33,000 were within the city limits of San Diego. Communities affected included: Lake Cuyamaca, Wynola, Pine Hills, Harrison Park, Scripps Ranch, Tierrasanta, San Diego Estates, Poway, Ramona, Santee, Lakeside, Blossom Valley, Pine Valley, Descanso, and Julian. Federal property containing the Miramar Marine Corp Air Station, the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Control Radar (TRACON) and the National Weather Service's radar (WSR-88D) and upper air inflation shelter was also consumed. Two U.S.N. troop carriers and QualComm Stadium were used as evacuation shelters. Poor air quality and visibility due to the smoke and ash forced the closures of schools and air and ground transportation. East to northeast winds continued to gust near 40 mph until midday October 29 when the Santa Ana wind event ended.  During the next 24 hours, the winds gusted from the opposite direction between 25 and 40 mph. Moisture increased rapidly and light rain and drizzle were observed over much of the fire area. As the month ended the fire was still active.

Wildfire in SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Location: PINE HILLS
Property damage: 1.04B
Crop damage: 6.5M
Reported by: NEWSPAPER
Strong low pressure moved from New Mexico to Green Bay and then to James Bay in Ontario. Gulf of Mexico moisture moving over the warm front associated with this low brought  snow to western and central Upper Michigan. Enough warm air moved into the Upper Peninsula to change the snow over to sleet then to freezing rain and drizzle.  The combination of 3 to 4 inches of sleet and wet snow and 1/4 inch of ice accumulation from freezing rain and drizzle shut down the county airport in Houghton and made roads in Northern Houghton and Keweenaw counties extremely slick and hazardous. There were reports of power and telephone outages as the weight of the freezing and frozen precipitation broke off tree branches and brought down power and telephone lines.
