I am right now sitting in a hotel room because my family and I have been evacuated due to the fires near our home in Yorba Linda, Califorina.
My sister and I were at Disneyland with a group of friends. While we were at Disneyland, the sky became HEAVY with smoke and ash. We found out that there were 2 major fires burning close by.Because the smoke and ash was getting worse, we left Disneyland.
When we returned home, we packed up some things and put together the items our 4 "critters" would need and we waited to see if we would be evacuated. As we waited, we were watching the news. Some of the houses that they showed burning were less than a half mile away!!!!!!! We loaded up the cars and left!!!!!
Our "critters" are with my dad, so at least they are ok. They were very scared in the begining. I wish I could explain to them that although it's scary, everything is going to be alright. I reassured them as best as I could by talking calmly to them. We just went over to my dads house to check on them. They are doing better.
As for me, I am sure my house will be fine, dispite seeing the hill, less than a half mile away, all lit up with fire.
The place I work, on the other hand, might not have faired as well. As were were driving to the hotel, we were listening to the news. One of the reporters was sitting in the parking lot of my store. She said that the building next to my store was on fire, and the trees in my parking lot were on fire as well. I think my store was damaged because there was'nt any fire fighters in the shopping center and there was no water to put out the fire. So I wont know untill, at least tomorrow, if I have a job or not.
So far there have been over 2,000 acres burned with many houses, apartments, and mobile homes burned.
Please pray for all thoes who have lost their homes in all the fires in Southern California.
I have taken alot of pictures today, chronicling todays events. I also plan on taking pictures of the after effects of the fires. I will keep everyone updated!!!!!!!!
