Mae, Cappy? Fires!?

This will probably make it quite obvious that I am not that hot on American geography, hmm wonder why! but is anyone here affected by those dreadful fires in California at the moment. Wow, they are shocking. New South Wales and California unfortunately have one thing very much in common - bushfires. This State has been in drought over winter and this summer well, who knows.......anyway just curious. Hilary

I was wondering too!!!!! Everybody ok!!!!
One of my co-workers is from the San Diego area--she has moved most of her prized possessions but they think they have her area under control so she flew up to work tdy.

Hope her area is safe and controlled now hon ..
Lucky her for being able to get her *special* possessions out!
As for Mae and Cappy .. I believe Mae is more towards Northern Calif.
Could be very wrong though ..
Cappy, I don't remember :(
I think they said so far so good ..
Live about 20 to 25 miles from all of it ..
Ash everywhere ..
I have an aunt and her family out there too ..
Good thoughts to all :)
**For sure Hugs. Friends of ours were evacuated from their home but have returned and are OK. It is just horrendous to see on the news. You just can't believe these fires were started deliberately! Ash everywhere.....know what that is like too, the hospitals will be full of people with breathing difficulties. Thank God that cooler and milder weather is predicted for the next few days and maybe they will be able to get them under control. Hilary
One of my sisters lives on Coronado Island (part of San Diego, there's a Navy base there) with her dh and ds and dd.
Pray for rain!!!
ps...knock on wood that we don't get fires up here. A lot of our firemen are down helping out in so cal.

**I thought I remembered that you were close. Phew, glad to hear you are OK.
You have about 10,000 fire fighters fighting there they said on the news, and even then not enough....like here.
Have a good day Mae. Hilary
