The kids and I have been glued to the window in the boys' bedroom for the last two days as we've watched the fire crest over the hill and make it's way down the other side. Our home has really not been in any danger as the fire crews have worked tirelessly to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighborhood where I live. For which we are very grateful.

On the other side of the mountain, many of our friends have been evacuated from their homes. We are praying for them.
Thanks for the update! I was worried about you and the others I know in the area. I am glad the fire is moving away. I had to laugh at the "Dump Fire" name too. We'll have to come up with a better name on our own. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so scary! Be safe.

I used to live in that area, and got to see some fires like that myself, it's so scary knowing that a gentle breeze could just start blowing it your way!
ReplyDeleteScary...been praying for all the people located in these areas.
