FIRES, WINDS AND HEAT MIXTURE DANGER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Dear Friends,
We are surrounded by fires everywhere, lots of smoke, wind in fire areas gusting up to 90 miles per hour. The freeways are jammed with people evacuating. Temperature expected to reach 90 today. I finally went to sleep about 1:30 this morning. Steve went to work. Have to keep air conditioner on so it is 62 in here, otherwise lots of coughing and problems breathing. We would probably go to Cal Tech and stay in Steve's work place because it is in the basement and should be OK. But only if we have to. Animals and birds are trying to get out of the burn areas too. We have lots of friends in all the areas. People seem very calm and fire fighters are everywhere, exhausted and so brave. It is so emotional. Conditions to stay the same for the next couple of days. Everyone is in shock. We are praying for the best. If we have to leave we will be reachable by cell phone. I hope with the high winds, hot temperatures and fires bringing down so many transformers, that the electricity stays on. This should be a very interesting 48 hours. Will keep you posted.

Love and light,
Amber
