San Marcos, California (CNN) -- The good news: Temperatures and winds across scorched areas of southern California are starting to subside.
The bad news: Unruly wildfires keep barreling from one community to another, destroying homes and spawning "firenadoes" -- funnels of flames that look like tornadoes.
With 10,000 acres of land already devoured, thousands of homes are still in jeopardy as eight fires rage in the San Diego County area.
