Live Footage of the Fire.

For footage of the fires in San Diego: http://www.10news.com/video/14036255/index.html

Since they began Sunday, the fires have burned at least 373,000 acres, or 583 square miles -- an area the size of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Affected areas stretched from north of Santa Barbara more than 200 miles south into Mexico. Flames climbed halfway toward the Nevada line, chewing through chunks of seven counties and devastating numerous communities.
At least 346,000 homes in San Diego County alone -- roughly one in three, according to census data -- were ordered to evacuate, sheriff's officials said. State officials were still struggling to estimate how many people had fled.

President George Bush is expected in the Southern California area on Thursday. Stay tuned.
