Hi Mr. P. Last night was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Words fail me. My daughter who lives on the other side of town is on evacuation alert and the area where my Doctor lived burned to the ground. Approximately 1/3rd of this City is evacuated - 30,000 people. We were on the roof of my sister's house with a telescope and binoculars. We could watch the flames jumping from roof to roof and watch the house actually burn to the ground. So far 203 houses are burned down. 3 of the firefighters own houses burned down while they were out firefighting. This is a disaster and tonight is expected to be more of the same. The winds are expected to come up again and in fact are blowing a bit now. You almost have to witness this to believe it.!! We had a little prayer meeting on my sister's deck and asked that the lightning NOT strike OUR side of the Valley!! Whoa!!!!!!!
