    I know.

    For the first time in a long time I'm really worried.

    I have family that lives out by Lytel Creek just below the 15 in Rialto.

    Now the fire is in Upland about 10 miles from my home. I can see it from my roof.

    Eddie is ok (cause he lives in upland I was a bit concerned) but this thing is moving so fast and even jumping the Freeway.

    My throats all messed up cause of the smoke and the ash is everywhere. It looks like a nuclear winter out here. And the wind is making it worse.

    The sky is red and the stars are gone.

    Really hope everyone is okay. I know that Andrea and Court are in Yucaipa, but Brandon's in Diego right now so he's relatively fine. But Jeff just told me that the other Brandon had to evacuate his house....it's just insane! I live in Corona, just at the beginning of Riverside so I'm not getting any of the actual flames, just all the **** it's bringing with it. The sky has been such an ugly orange/brown for the past two days, the sun is a deathly looking red, and all the cars are covered with ash and soot that you can actually see falling all over the place. People in Anaheim are going around with surgical masks already, so I can't imagine what it must be like for people actually up close to the fire. I know places like San Bernadino are being declared states of emergency, so my prayers and thoughts are with everyone in that general area. Frankly, this fire is both amazing and a major pain in the ass.

    SHeesh, I know. I was in Riverside all day yesterday, and it was raining ash. I had to use my bandana like a cowboy mask just to breath, but once I got home (all the way down in Temecula and we can STILL see the smoke), my eyes, ears, and basically all of my face was covered in black. :( It was sad at competition. San Bernadino high school showed up, played, then left to get back home, and 2 others school didn't show up at all. The wind was AWEFUL.

    But, by looking at the sky right now, it looks like it's gone down a bit (sorry if I'm wrong). :(

    I'm praying for everyone right now!!

    Yeah, we helped my grandmother evacuate yesterday morning on the foothill by Cal State. My grandma lost her house in a fire the same size 20 years ago, poor woman. My best friend Tessa lives in Old Waterman Canyon and she lost her house for sure. She lives right in the middle of where the fire started. I live in East Highland, and we have a great view of all that is going on and it's really scary. I grew up around Del Rosa and Waterman area, so I'm too familiar with that area. I just hope these winds will stop soon.

    I just wanted to stop by and see how you're all doing.

    These fires have been crazy.....we spent a lot of our meeting yesterday watching the news and the smoke darken out the sky and watching the ash rain down, and checking up on people or family members who might be affected.

    Storm, hope everything turns out OK. Please stay safe.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you down there as well.

    Justen and I were up the hill last night so we had to evac. It seems to be going strong, and i just saw a news report that the line is at the rim, so We'll see how it works out, so far all my friends have gotten off the mountain, and we are all praying hard and repeatedly. Storm, as far as I've seen on the news, the fire hasen't gotten to springs. but they have been known to be wrong...from time to time.

    I hope everyone else is ok and safe.

    I found out my cousin and his grandparents had to evacuate from Alpine (down by SD).

    I have more family up by simi valley and I haven't heard anything from them yet so it might be a good sign. (they would have called us if anything came up.)

    The family I have in Rialto is ok.

    Now the fire is in the foothills of La Verne a few miles north of Pomona.
    So far it looks like it will stay up there and go into San Dimas where the fire was last year.

    All that smoke and ash is pouring down into the valley. This is nuts.

    I just talked to Brandon and he's stuck in San Diego due to the fact that they closed the 15 freeway. :( Another fire just sprang up near me, and everyone's evacuating to Temecula High School. This is maddness...

    Andrea, *massive hugs* :(

    A lot of it can be replaced and there are still the memories of whatever can not.
