Those of us who live in Southern California are under a major emergency alert. And I’m sure most of you know that most of Southern California is literally on fire. I live in Orange County and a large part of my county is on fire, and it’s no fun.
This morning I went to the local elementary school I work at part time and watched as the principal of the school did mandatory inside recess. The children were walking in a line to the auditorium with their shirts covering their mouths and noses because the ash in the air was so thick. Some kids didn’t even come to school because the air quality is so bad out here.
I also have been listening to a lot of local news which cable news is not covering and the situation out here is not good. This is becoming the worst fire in modern day history in this area. Some local news reports were also speculating that many of the fires were due to arson – which makes this situation even more horrible.
The other thing is that the temperature is around 100 degrees inland where I am. Which means that it’s a lot higher where the fires are. It’s miserable. But there is not much we can do about the heat.
I would ask that people who believe in God (not you atheists who think you’re god) just pray for rain, for the winds to stop blowing and most importantly for the families who have lost their homes, and property as well as those families who have lost loved ones.
It will be a few days before this situation will be under control, and so we’ve got some time before this situation will clear.
