SoCal Fires
First and foremost - if you live in or around San Diego, or Malibu, or any of the other Southern California areas that are affected by the wildfires, my prayers and thoughts are with you. News coverage has been constant about these fires, which I believe they totaled to about 11 different fires. These fires are all around LA, thankfully not in near me - but my return to Las Vegas has been stalled. I was planning to leave Sunday night, but wanted to stay one more day to be able to spend more time with Justin and extend my break from Vegas… well, that probably wasn’t the best idea, as now I-15 - the main road back to Nevada - is closed because of the fires. Although the news coverage is constant - traffic and road conditions are not as often and not as detailed. Online - one site says the road is open, another site says it’s closed. So I’m just confused and I feel bad because I know Justin had plans last night but cancelled them because I couldn’t go home. I’m hoping I can get home tonight. Please pray for the families whose homes have been destroyed and whose lives have been displaced by this disaster. Hundreds - if not thousands - of homes have been destroyed. Federal assistance was granted, but they’ve only shown one instance of the Air Force’s help. I hope it’s more than that and they’re just not showing it on TV. Governor Schwarzenegger said the right thing yesterday at a news conference: Immediate Action is required, not discussion. Totally agree. Do now - talk later.
