Oh Dita. You have been in my thoughts.
Thank you for giving us a first hand report.
The people are in prayers.
Stay indoors and take care of yourself.
Hugs
Less than 48 hours after I last signed off, so much has happened!!
Thank your for your responses and concern all. (((LUV W))), your post on Saturday was the last I saw before signing off and honestly, I believe your wish was a prayer. In spite of the heavy smokiness and ash over all of L.A., I did not get sick from it!!! Thank you.
(((Lady Jag))), how strange is it that your power went out?! I wonder why that happened in your area, is it common?
We were warned we might have power outages yesterday, but PRAISE GOD, we didn’t. It went off for less than a minute only once yesterday.
(((Yorkie))), how are your family members in Northridge doing? I believe the fires stayed well away from them.
The fires stayed away from L.A. proper, but by Saturday night/Sunday morning, we were surrounded by nearly countless fires. Our air/sky yesterday was brownish-yellow and the smoke smell was strong. I stayed indoors with windows and door closed, fans going strong. This worked very well. In addition, NASCAR was on most afternoon to keep me distracted.
Today, the horizon air is brown all around but directly above, the sky is blue, still bad air quality. The cars and the ground are covered with ash.
The bad news is that so many lost their homes, especially up at the trailer park in Sylmar where hundreds of homes burned to the ground and residents have only 10 minutes each today to recover what they can.
I have not heard of any firefighter fatalities, but 5 were injured, don’t know how badly. Your prayers and thoughts of concern for all affected, I’m sure are heard and very welcome.
I Found a Precious Video of our President a Few Days Ago, and Wanted to Link to it Here for Any FRiends who have't Seen it but Might Want to:
It is heartbreaking watching the news and seeing the fires destroy so much, leaving people with nothing but ashes where their homes once were. (and personal belongs that can never be replaced) The air that you breathe must be so awful, I just pray that there won’t be huge numbers of people with serious health problems later for those who can’t escape the smoke and fumes.
Thank you for reporting in, Dita!
I know this is and has been a real disaster there in your
area, Dita, and I continue to pray for the folks who lost their
homes and that no one is injured or killed by this monster
fire.
I am thankful that you were able to stay indoors where the
air could be controlled. I hope that this ordeal is over
soon and that the brave firefighters and air support are
able to make headway and get it/them put out!
