Wildfire Update

The wildfires here in Southern California are unbelievable. Thank you to all our friends and family who have called or emailed to make sure we are okay. Fortunately we have not been in any immediate danger. The closest fire to us is about 15-20 miles away and as of the latest report it appears to be heading away from structures and moving towards the mountains. From our house we can see lots of smoke but not any flames. There is ash on our cars and the air is very thick from the smoke which means we can't be outside much as the air quality is so poor. Ethan's school closed early on Tuesday and was closed again yesterday as they could see flames on the hillside in the distance. Bryan's office is about a few blocks away from Ethan's school and he and his colleagues have gone up on the roof of their building to watch the flames. Apparently this is the closest any major fires have come to this area in a long time and some of the worst the state has seen. This is all new to us as we are used to just a good old snowstorm! Anyways, we're fine, a bit stir crazy from having to stay inside, but lately that is okay since we have our Boston Red Sox to watch and by the way they're playing things are looking good.
