Please, please pray for us in California right now. As I’m sure you’ve heard on the news by now, Southern California is besieged by fires, from Santa Barbara to Orange County. Wildfires are pretty much a common thing here, especially with how dry our state has become over the last few years, but I have never seen so many fires burning in different locations in my entire life. I awoke to an orange sun yesterday here in North Orange County. By mid-morning, the fire had hopped across the freeway from Corona to Yorba Linda due to the high winds. Two hours later, the sky was black, ash covered our cars and the ground, and the air was unbreathable. The fire is currently holding steady since the winds have died down, and remains about 10 miles away from me due north and east. I have friends in the impacted area of Anaheim Hills, and have not been able to get any updates since last night regarding if they still have a house. In a city north of Los Angeles, over 500 mobile homes were lost, and that fire is headed toward the Angels National Forest. Over 10,000 acres have burned in Orange County, parts of the freeways are closed, and over 20,000 people have been evacuated. You can view a map of it here for a better idea. Please pray for all those that have lost their homes, those that have evacuated, the possible loss of life, and for our brave firefighters. Thank you.
