Everything is fine. My husband went to check out the location of the fire, and it was in very close proximity to his place of work (about 3-4 miles from our house). Fortunately, they got it under control quickly and it didn't spread very far. It was cooler today, but still windy; however, the winds have died down this evening.
We have no rain in the forecast. Tomorrow is considered a critical day for fire probability and Wednesday and Thursday extreme days.
Sure wish we could send you some of our rain. We are deluged with rain here in So. Cal. It was a wet and soggy Rose Parade here yesterday and we haven't been able to take our Christmas company to Disneyland or anything due to all the rain. Wish we could send it YOUR way to DOUSE all those fires! We had fires in 2002 here in Claremont, Ca. The fire photos from TX and Okla. look like our 2002 fires. And my college roommate lives down by San Diego. A couple of years ago they had bad fires in her neighborhood and a lot of the homes burned down. Her house was spared, but her husband refused to leave. If you heard of a crazy man there running around with a water hose, it was him. She said their yard looked like a lava flow. Living here in So. Cal. we have fires, floods, earthquakes, Santa Anna winds, and way too many liberals. We are cursed.
