Hi, again.....hope you are all having a nice Sunday...we woke up to news of severe fires northwest of us....not close but we felt the need to keep the TV on to hear the news.....several freeways were closed and the freeway we went on last week was also. We've had Santa Ana winds for the last two days and its been very dry. Red Flag warnings.
These are all west of us by quite a bit..we've been very blest not to have experienced this yet...and I say, yet..our area is not immune for sure....I've always wanted to live out on acreage but as there are fires like this every fall, am thinking we probably did the right thing in buying where we did...we have concrete tiles on our roof so sparks wouldn't take.So far no one has been killed....everyone has gotten out of the area but they are searching one mobile home park that burned to the ground....they don't know if all the seniors got out or not.
They are bringing in cadaver dogs just to be sure and going house to house.
Today the winds have died down and its cooler....
Needless to say, please pray for all our brave firemen and woman, all the families and pets that had to be evacuated and anyone else connected wth the fires...
Dani,
ReplyDeleteSince I don't live too far from you, we've been doing the same thing-watching the news all day. My prayers are with those poor folks, and praying the fires don't come this way! I've been through this too many times in my area! Been evacuated before, too.
Stay safe
Blessings, ~mary~
thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI too keep up on the fires since I was raised in West LA. We were always glad we had a house on the flat land rather than the hills near us. We were about a mile from a fire this summer and not too far from evacuations, but we are on a busy state highway, thankfully so.

My, how tragic. :-(
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad... I think about the animals, too... the ones that had no place to escape to..
ReplyDeleteVery frightening photos!!!! The last one, especially. I can't imagine living closeby and wondering and worrying every day! Yes, we should all be praying for the fire fighters and for the families! This is such extensive devastation!
