Trapped in the OC Fires
Damn wind, I’m trapped in a smokey hell. he sky is seriously bleeding and I am fearing for the life of my house. The hell I’m staying, the fires are about a mile away and we have no received any word on evacs. Sirens keep rushing by and yet we know nothing. My husband is staying behind to watch the dwelling and hopefully he has some sense not to try anything heroic. The smoke is seeping through my walls and under the front door, the outside is virtually bare black with embers and smoke. Police is staking major intersections and freeways are shut down. We are trapped within our city and we are virtually grounded with no place to go. Shelters have been set up in the local H.S. and honestly besideds the tv there is no other means of lifeline. I look out the windows and it’s like my neighboors have vanished, I too will be packing up and relocating for a while while the dust settles and hopefully my house does not burn. Not only is this bad for us but the air quality down here is beyond bad, unbreathable. So lets all pray.
