13 people killed, 300,000+ acres burned, 700 homes destroyed.  Four
counties have been declared major disaster areas, including Los Angeles,
San Bernardino, San Diego and Venture counties.

Earthlink/Mindspring and SBC/PacificBell are reporting local access
outages on their respective public network status webpages.  I expect
there are similar local access issues for other networ providers in the
region although they aren't reporting them on their public network status
pages.

I used to have the UCSD network status page, but they seem to have moved
it.

There have not been any reports of backbone circuit problems in or out
of the region by any network providers of which I'm aware.
