Fires of California

As if it is not hot enough already!
Right now Southern California (Where I am...sadly) is in danger. There are 9 fires here, that are not giving out. There is very heavy winds, and a million people have been evacuated. I have already packed my stuff, getting ready to evacuate. 5 people have died, and about 10 firefighters injured. 15,000+ Acres of California have been burned. The effects have been devastating so far, so just keep us in your thoughts, pray, or just plain cross your fingers for the families out here. Below is an attatched image of the fires here.
Thanks for reading, your crazy mod,
Knuckles

We have been watching it on the news. We will continue to hope that the winds die down quickly and that the firefighters can start to get this contained. Be safe!

Is what I said. The fires are getting a little closer to me, and it's not much of a life- or death situation yet. I was just asking if you guys could keep the people over here that houses burn down and have nowhere to go in your thoughts, and hope for the best for us.

I don't think that CJL understood how an evacuation like this works when he posted this.

OOPPS somehow got signed back on as him.

I hope nothing happens to anybody there. When I pray tonight I will ask god to be with all of you. God bless you all. And lots of luck to you all!

I've been hearing lots about this on the news. I hope nothing happens to anybody, and I will remember to pray.
