Fires!


Well It seems like Everything around us is Burning. there are so many Fires. As of Right now over 1 million people have been evacuted and Countless homes have been lost. I am impressed withhow Quentins poor little lungs are holding up it is me that has been having to use my inhaler. I have been watching him close cause I know how his lungs are with the damage that was caused at birth. Last night we went to the local casino to have dinner and Gamble a little and it was at the base of one of the MOuntains that are on Fire the Valet people were wereing maskes and we litterally drove into clouds of smoke it is horrilbe. I can not even begin to name all the Fires off the top of my head the pics below are of the malibu fire but now the Arrowhead fire is now the one that is completly out of control. As Debby mentioned in her Blog the biggest so far is San diego. The Chargers are haveing to practice and play in Arizona cause they are using their Feild for evacuations. almost half of the million people evacuated are from san diego. There is even a really bad one 1 exit away from Emmy's Daddies house. Please pray for the brave men and woman out there fighting these fires and pray the darn wind stops that is most of the problem right now. we are in a state of emergency and even the president as given us air craft to help with water drops. well I hope it all stops soon so we can breath again.


dubbed "California's Worst Firestorm"

Pictures speak a thousand words
Word on the street is: this firestorm's way worse than the one we had back in '03.
If that was bad, then this is incomprehensible
As of today, there are currently 9 FIRES burning.
The wind isn't helping any, for it is the main cause for the spread of the wildfire
And due to the extremely high winds [50-70MPH], it is dangerous for helicopters to fly close to the fire

pray for this to STOP
