Prayers to you all who are suffering with high winds and wildfires.  Stay safe.

[Love my grandkids]

@roxxy1 Me too. I am a native of So. Cal. but moved to WA state 10 years ago for various reasons. My dear son and his family are in the South Bay of So. Cal. and in no danger of any fire due to their location. These fires just break my heart, for the people lost, the animals lost (that makes me cry), the property lost, the land that will never come back.

Bless those firefighters.

Prayers for the wind to stop so the firefighters can control the fires! Keep safe everyone in the fire area.

I guess it's also in Sonoma, which is Northern Cal. There is so much flammable vegetation, and the Santa Ana winds just make it spread. Each state has some kind of disaster to contend with through each year it seems.

Yes 🙏🙏🙏.  Clips were shown in the news yesterday.  I can't even imagine.  They showed an interview of a man telling how he was told to evacuate.  He had to leave right away.

That's where we live ,too, @Love my grandkids

I lived in the San Fernando Valley for forty years and there were two things that were always a threat, fires and earthquakes.  While living in Chatsworth there was a fire in Simi Valley and the flames were visible at the top of the ridge,  which meant if it wasn't contained, my home was in danger.  We were evacuated and thank God and the wonderful fire fighters the fire was extinguished. 

Many years prior to that experience there were fires raging in the Valley and one area in Northridge hundreds of homes were destroyed.  My daughter was walking home from school while I was driving to pick her up and when I saw her, her face was black from the smoke all around us.  Sadly, fires are a part of life depending on where one lives in CA.  My prayers go out to everyone affected, I ask God to keep all of them safe.

I'm a CA native although I've lived in Las Vegas for almost 50 years.  I still have family there, including DD and SIL. It breaks my heart to see the losses.  It will never return to its former state in my lifetime.

My son and family and dog had to evacuate from the town of windsor.  I,m 20 miles away, and hope to God it doesn,t reach Santa Rosa again.  The town has not recuperated yet from2017/18.   The winds are calm and no power shut off yet, but they expect it after8.   The worst is the firefighters can,t work at night we are told.  I,m praying for everyone.  The highway was bumped to bumper.

You didn't hear about the fire in Santa Clarita?  We could see the dark smoke cloud.  It wouldn't travel down to the south bay, but it's still quite unnerving.
