No boom today. But they’re getting ready for it: Evacuations to begin this evening for Thursday’s North County ‘bomb house’ burning.

Residents of about six dozen addresses around the cordoned-off home in the 1900 block of Via Scott have been directed to vacate the neighborhood, starting at 7 p.m. Others who living west of I-15 have been told to “shelter in place.” Burning begins at 9 a.m.

Surreal, yeah. (No, I am not in the evacuation area.)
