Near Miramar Reservoir:

A solid block of orderly traffic crept south along Scripps Ranch Road, caravans of horse trailers, cars packed with belonging and pets.

Tom Fath, who owns two homes, said he had evacuated twice in one day: first, from his Poway home to flee to his Scripps Ranch home, only to be told again he must leave. Frustrated, he took offensive action: ‘I rented those,’ he said pointed to the newly loaded mobile home and trailer. He didn’t know where he was going, but he was getting out of Scripps Ranch.

Along the way, stores and shopping centers were closed and vacant.
