CA Wildfires...
 
I see that a lot of cities in So Cal are on fire right now. I just wanted to say, I hope everyone is safe and that your homes aren't affected.

I pray that everyone gets through this safe and sound.

I'm in San Diego and have been watching the news nonstop to see if my neighborhood will be evacuated. It is soooo bad here...very scary. My car is all packed ready to go, but it's scary because it's coming from all angles it seems. Today, I left work to pick up my pups and bring them back to the office. If I go to work tomorrow, they're coming with me. Please keep San Diego (and all of SoCal) in your prayers...we need them. :(

FL Tink 10-23-2007 01:57 AM
I was there in 2003 surrounded by 3 fires. Its very scary. Now I have other nurse friends also being evacuated :confused: SO sad.

bdbmamaw 10-23-2007 03:20 AM
My son was attending Pepperdine University back in 2003 and had to be evacuated. Has it affected the University this time?

My prayers go out to all in SoCal.

I didn't even know that San Diego was on fire yesterday, until I got a call from one of my sisters. My other sister is pregnant and already past a week over due. She's just been admitted to the hospital with the flu, and her neighborhood is being evacuated!! :eek:

Prayers coming your way.

tiggerr36792 10-23-2007 07:29 AM
I pray everyone is safe! I just saw how Magic Mountain is close to a fire today too.

laurenr 10-23-2007 08:27 AM
OMG! I cannot believe what is going on here! My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone close to the fires. I try and imagine that feeling, having your car packed up, ready to evacuate, a pregnant lady in hospital, not knowing what she will go home to with her new Baba!
I must admit to being nervous as well here in Yorba Linda, with all the dry brush in these hills, which has caught fire so many times in the past. I am staying home with my babies today.... will not budge. The wind howling up here in the hills makes them so jittery. I keep peering around from my perch, scanning the hills around me for smoke.

What a dreadful time it is, in Southern Calif right now. I cannot fathom how anyone can deliberately cause this suffering..... so many homes have been lost south of us, in San Diego; the count just now was over 1,000!!!!:(

Hugs to all of you here,:ghug:
Lauren

Meg, I hope your boyfriend can leave work early.... the roads must be a nightmare:eek:, and I have a feeling the 241 will be closed, which makes the 55 simply terrible. I do know of a really direct route home if he needs it, going over surface streets, without the FWY. Phone or PM me if you need it. How is little Avie in the wind? It's howling like crazy up here in the hills, and my two girls are peeing on paper in the garage, instead of outside.

Hugs,
Lauren, the Hill Watchdog for the Day.

Prayers sent to everyone in So Cal
 
I hope everyone is safe. I live in LA but have not been affected by the fires but I had some friends and clients of my fiances lose homes in Malibu and in Santa Clarita. We're going to go help them clean up but it has been a very devastating few days. Wish we could help out more but unfortunately there is not much to do since people have lost so much. Hope this all ends soon.

I was also in the 2003 fires in Poway near San Diego. I remember waking up and seeing the sky all red and orange. It was really scary and you couldn't walk outside without a mask because the air quality was horrible. Didn't have to evacuate but came close to it because the fires were surounding me all the way around. They were put out just in time thank god. But it really makes you appreciate what's most important in life.

I heard last night on the news that a quarter of a million people have been evacuated from their homes throughout So Cal... a quarter of a million!!!!

scrapindee 10-24-2007 08:33 PM
We're okay here except for very toxic air -- it is very hard to breathe, ashes everywhere, and it burns your eyes and throat.

I hope everyone is safe.

Kona 10-24-2007 09:14 PM
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you that are affected. Don't be outside longer than need be. You don't need to breathe in all of those toxins. I hope everyone is safe.

s13silviagirl 10-24-2007 10:05 PM
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone! I also was there for the '03 fires. Super scary! I hope you all, and all of your families are safe and well, and come out of this unharmed!

tiggerr36792 10-25-2007 05:49 AM
These fires are crazy I pray everyone is safe!

Update...
 
I spoke to my sister in San Diego. Turns out they were on voluntary evacuation, so they were planning on staying as long as they can. The hospital SENT HER HOME (military hospital) and cancelled her scheduled induce. They even sent home scheduled c-sections--everything but emergency because they were understaffed. So she is still sick at home with the flu and going on two weeks overdue. She can barely breathe between the flu and the smoke going on. It is probably for the best if the baby can stay safe inside since it is isane in the outside world!

patty58 10-25-2007 03:38 PM
Misty I will keep your sister in my prayers. Is it safe for her to stay there and breathe in all that smoke.

She doesn't have any choice, really. She can't go far from the military hospital because she'll be going into labor any minute now, and all the hotels out there are full. We are over a 3 hour drive from SD, so if she came up and stayed with us, if she went into labor, she'd be hours from the hospital, plus many of the freeways between here and there are closed. They said if she delivers anywhere else, she'll have to pay for it herself. So she's kind of stuck there for now.

Thanks for the prayers!

stewartsdsu 10-25-2007 09:52 PM
Misty, I'll keep your sister in my prayers. If there's anything I can do, let me know. I'm in SD and really want to help out as much as I can. Today, I read that there was one birth during the fires. Was this your sister?

Fortunately, today seems to be a little better. The air quality was unbearable yesterday, but today was okay- either that or we're all just getting used to it. The media coverage has subsided a lot and the winds have begun to calm, although there are still fires. Now comes all the terrible aftermath, but the city has really proven to come together.

On another note, Lily was spayed today and had 18 teeth pulled...yes, 18!!!!! The vet said none of her baby teeth fell out and she had a full double set. I knew she needed a lot taken out but never thought it would be 18. Poor lil' girl has been so out of it tonight. I'm going to bring her into work tomorrow so Riley won't bother her all day.
