I remember the Simi fire a few years ago. It started near my brother's house in western Simi and spread to my son's house, eastern Simi, so quickly that by the time he got home to his dogs, all roads out of Simi were closed. The pictures of the black sky are ominous. It then spread to my house in the southern San Fernando Valley and then onto my other son in Valencia. No one knew where to go! I thought it might spread to yet my other son in Iraq
My heart goes out to all those who lost their homes and it breaks for the loss the entire area has/is suffering. Mother Nature will not be stopped.
Paulette, I hope the fire steer's clear of your home and pray no more homes are lost. Watching the news, it doens't even appear near containment.
My fingers are crossed.
