the city sleeps in flames.

its been 11 years or so since my sister has slept in our home... but tonight is different. she currently resides in yorba linda... and unless youve been hiding under a rock, you know theres the huge fire thats devistating yl and its surrounding cities.

at about 2pm my father called me from work and asked me to check in with my sis because he had just found out the fires we near her home. when i called her she said the smoke was thick and they could see the flames, but there wasnt a need to evacuate.


4 hours later we called again, just because we are a nervous family... she said still no orders to evacuate.

less than and hour after that, i am at ramiros and my father calls to let me know that indeed my sister and her neighbors have been forced to evacuate.

i had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. i am worried that the fire will continue to move... and her home will be lost. i am heartbroken that many people have already lost their homes. i really hope this all ends soon.
