as most of you know there are fires burning out of controll in Southern California. I happen to be right in the middle of it all.


this morning at 1:20 a.m. my doorbell wrang, it was the police and fire department saying there is a manditory evacuation and we must gather are valueables and such. the "Grand Prix" fire has jumped over interstate 15 and is heading tward my house as i speak. everybody in my whole neighborhood is out in their front yard hoping for the best. we can see the smoke ahead. the fire is about 6 miles from my house. all this morning my family took turns watching the fire. the fire department says that their is a danger of ashes and enders blowing from rooftop to rooftop and it happens that i am downwind from the fire. outside there are people gathering their pets, the ash is blowing down like a blizzard and our city is completely encircled by smoke. it feels like i am a million miles away from the world and just by typing this its making me feel better.

to make things worse the fire bombers are grounded because of the smoke and very high winds (30-50mph). and we dont have enough fire fighters to help out on all fronts...

unreal.
