Fire nearby October 21, 2007
There’s fire just a ridge or two away. Dave went out and looked at it, could see flames reaching toward the sky looking east past the next door neighbor’s house. The winds are blowing like mad. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We’re going to pack up a few things, just in case we have to dash out. All the computers are off except this one, a laptop, as we keep loosing power.
I hate the Santa Ana winds. And it’s *so* beastly dry… Some areas are reporting 6% humidity. The little bit of rain we had recently hasn’t done a thing to improve things. Horrible fires all over southern California right now, and these nasty winds are making them grow and spread like you wouldn’t believe.
I’ll post again in the morning, or whenever I can get back online to let you know how things stand.

Oh, Laura, when I saw the fires on the news I did wonder if you were near. Best of luck to you and yours. I’ve been through California wildfires, so I know how scarey and how huge they can be.

That sounds so scary Laura. Fingers crossed for you.
