We actually have a large group of us in Southern CA. In the last fires about 2 mo ago one of our members, Rick Steele, in Porter Ranch had to evacuate and almost lost his home. The flames came right up to his property line. Another one of our members is in an area where all the freeways are closed and for her the smoke it making it terrible hard to breathe as she also had COPD. I haven't check on all the members of our SoCal Support group yet, but I think most of us are okay, just dealing with ashes and smoke. Yesterday I went to visit my Mom's house in Fullerton and could see the flames on the Ridgeway, so of them spread a mile or so apart. The flames were probably about 5 miles from her house. We had to exit the freeway because just up the way they were afraid the fires were going to just the freeway. Scary!! All of us know so many folks in the fire areas and are wishing the best for them.
Today, in my area at least the temp has cooled down to the mid 80ies and the wind has calmed down This is a great help in controlling the fires. The fire personnel we have in So. Cal are absolutely the best.
