As most of you know ( if you've been watching the news), San Diego, CA., is having huge, uncontrollable fires!! My entire family was evacuated two days ago...parents, sisters,etc! they stayed with another sisiter of mine ( whose house was not 'threatened' by these fires). To make a long story short, I talked to my parents today..they said their house AND my sister's house were not damaged, AT ALL, from these fires. OMG!!...I can't believe it!! I've been watching the news, since the fires...SOO many homes were burnt to the ground!! I just thank GOD my family is fine.

Thank God!! I am so glad for you.
We have some close family friends in San Diego area. My Mom talked to them today, they were in the process of evacuating.

Glad your family is safe!
How sad & scary for everyone out there!
Is this the worst Cali has ever seen from fires? What started it? Was it heat related or did a fool not put out a fire or throw a lit ciggy somewhere?

sd, I'm very glad your family is safe and their homes weren't damaged. I was reading on the internet about how many homes were gone. Awful. Volley, I was thinking about you. They're not near you, are they?

Fire and surfing...thats us!
I just went to newsweek.com to look at the fire maps...people were making derogatory comments about Californians being able to recover because we are all rich...YEA RIGHT! People find a reason, even during tragedy, to make those comments. Peoples homes burned down to the ground and its getting worse!
My bank is evacuating offices down there and I am thinking of offering my home to some of my fellow employees affected by this fire.

volley, how kind of you! Those poor people. Losing their homes and all their belongings and then idiots say stupid things like "they're all rich". Okay, maybe the Beverly Hillbillies were on TV! Good Lord! I feel for everyone. And, you doing that, well, that just makes you an angel. Gee, never thought I'd call you an angel!  Honestly, that is a very generous thing you're going to do.

Volley that is very generous and kind hearted of you. Not everyone is rich, but it is devastating even if you are rich. The only difference is for the rich it is only devastating emotionally and the not rich it is devastating emotionaly and financially.

I am glad to hear your family is ok.
The only reason people think everyone is so rich in CA is because it is an expensive place to live in most areas. I just see it as people having bigger debt with a mortage and car payments.. ect.
At church ones our pastor was telling us that yes, he had a nice home and a nice car and that many people do. But he likely also had more debt than what we had because of those bills and not to be envious. I learned that lesson when I was in jr high still.
