I ask that my family and friends place those I love and cherish who live in California in your thoughts and prayers... I have been on the phone almost every minute of the day with either my mom or my sister getting updates... my aunt is at my mom and dad's house since she couldn't get home, due to evacuations, and another friend is in the middle of the firestorm, literally in san diego... another friend who is hoping and praying that the fires that are in Malibu keep going in a SW direction and doesn't shift towards the SE or else the house he shares with his mom is going to be right in the path of the fire...
Just got news that the fire that is near the one in San Diego, he's in Chula Vista, the fire has laid down, for now... at anytime the fire could be whipped up by incoming winds and it can take off towards the coast like it's heading to, at least now, the firefighters have a fighting chance to get this one under control...
I am checking updates on all the fires, as I have many friends and family in the areas, to say I am stressed, is an understatement.. I want to be there now, at least then, I could be near my family, and know that they are safe, and I could help out with those fighting...
