[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 89901, member: 3444"] We live about 30min from the O.C. fires -- lots of smoke and dust in the air from the wind storm the past few days. sister in law lives about 5 miles from fire's perimeter, but it appears to be moving parallel to her, thank goodness. Lots of smoke and ash at her place. I've been a bit nervous as our neighborhood backs up to a rural state park that has had its share of brush fires over the years, one as recent as a year ago. Any time the winds kick up here like they have recently, and especially when there are fires in the area, we all keep a watchful eye. The one thing I dread during times like this is a copycat. My elderly and unwell uncle and his wife live about 3 miles from the 70,000 acre fire in SE San Diego county. We couldn't reach him Monday morning so my mom called the Sheriff's office to request they send a car to look in on them. Sheriff called back to say a neighbor had evacuated them that morning -- but we still haven't heard from him and he's not registered himself at any of the Red Cross shelters. Hoping he's being cared for wherever he is and that we hear from him soon! It's a crazy mess here in SoCal, and nervewracking to watch the news because they play on everyone's anxieties under the guise of providing an information service. Sometimes I find it best to turn off the TV and rely on the internet reports of state and federal agencies which tend to stick to the facts. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the displaced families and the brave firefighters and law enforcement who are working so hard for everyone. [/QUOTE]
