You are a very brave lady. :) If I lived in tornado country, I'd always be sleeping with one eye open.

I fear that we are fast approaching having wildfires here because of our unusual winter. Or arson.

Wildfires are so scary..I hope you are spared. Texas had a very bad year of wildfires last year..2 near my daughter’s home.

You can’t live in fear. Most wild fires are set. I’ve lived through wild fires in San Diego City and County where the smoke and ash were so thick we couldn’t see the houses across the street and I was just a girl of 10 years old during the first one. We always lived cliff side with canyons below, so the brush fires would travel up the hillside rapidly toward our houses, but Praise God, our house never burned, but neighboring houses did.

As with anything out of our control, you have to evacuate and always be prepared to evacuate. Even now. Put the stuff you have to have in one place so that you’re always ready. Put treasured pictures in one suitcase for example.

When I was 10, I just took my dog and my baby books. :)
