California Wildfires

For those of you who may be wondering, the homes of all my family members are safe from the wildfires that seem to be sprouting up left and right in So. California.

Last night, Mom called to say that the Fallbrook fire (or Rice Canyon Fire, as it is also being called) was within 200 yds. of their home when Dad evacuated with his truck full of sentimental treasures. (The whole town was under mandatory evacuation.) She said they would likely not have a home in the morning. Several hours and countless prayers later, family members returned to the home to find it completely unharmed. There were two burning logs in the driveway to clear out, but otherwise everything was fine.

And the Temecula fire is far from my sister's & my brother's houses; the Irvine fire doesn't appear to be near any homes either (so Lavender's fine, too it seems). YEA!!
