12-13 Homes in Covenant Gone

RSF Covenant Manager Pete Smith said that he was aware of 12 houses in the east side of the Covenant that have been completely destroyed. He supplied the following breakdown:

- 2 houses on Avenida Luis
- 6 houses on Zumaque
- 1 house on Las Colinas
- 1 house on El Mirador
- 1 house on El Vuelo
- 1 house on Via Monalex
- 1 house on Via De Santa Fe/Camino Selva
- There's also some burning along Via De La Valle, near the intersection of Via De Santa Fe.

OK, this doesn't quite add up. We'll try to figure why. But Smith said he did not know of any structures that are currently burning.

Smith also said that 25-40 National Guard members would be arriving in RSF today to help efforts. The Border Patrol and 40-50 officers from Sherriff's Department are already here to prevent looting. RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser is managing the security effort, according to Smith.

Also, the entire area is closed to non-emergency personnel — RSF residents CANNOT go to their homes at this point.

We'll be posting information on Fairbanks Ranch and Cielo shortly.

Thanks for your blog posts/info, from a former RSF Review employee :) Keep it up please! Both parents live on various edges of Rancho still - Whispering Palms aka Morgan Run, and that clump of streets south of Del Dios Hwy between La Valle Plateada and Crosby. Hard to find good info on RSF from outside of SD.

Where can I find information about specific addresses of the destroyed and damaged homes? I live(d) on Via Monalex . . .
Also, any sense of when we'll be able to return to assess? Thanks for the information.

Thank you for your updates. They are very helpful and are giving some peace. I am wondering about specific addresses within the covenant that may or may not be burned. I am not living in the area, but am in communication with family and friends that do.
Is it possible to have addresses of burnt properties?
Again, thank you for your efforts.

Does anyone know about 6777 La Valle Plateada? We hear it may be damaged, but it's not on any of the lists! Many thanks.
