California wild fires

[prezoom]

Let us hope that the wild fires striking the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, spares the town of San Andreas, Dave Bean's business and his extended family of employees. They have been ordered to evacuate once, but allowed to return. I can only hope it stays that way.

Having lived through the horrific fires in San Diego County in 2007, 250,000 plus acres were burned and nearly 3000 buildings/homes destroyed during the 4 days of the fire. Upon finally being allowed to return home, I found I still had fire burning in my back yard. I can readily identify with what is happening today. Luckily, I only had vegetation lost. Some of my neighbors were not so lucky. Many of us still live on pins and needles today.
