SAN DIEGO – The grass of Jack Murphy Field at Qualcomm Stadium was still being watered early Wednesday morning, even as the fires continued to ravage San Diego County into the night.
“The Q,” as locals call it, has become home to both the Chargers and thousands of evacuees escaping the various fires throughout the county.
The isles circumventing Qualcomm were dotted with tents and cots, some of them occupied, others not. The cave-like enclosed hallways that lead to the bottom level to the best seats in Qualcomm were full of tents – enough to make walking around them nearly impossible.
National Guard troops and nurses patrolled the area, helping the individuals still awake in the late hours.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency had booths set up to help field questions. Like the Del Mar Racetrack, Qualcomm, too, had various foods and essentials randomly scattered about. Some booths were even serving kosher items.
The autumn air was a bit chilly to the thousands of souls waiting for things to get better and return home – if there was still a home to return to.
