It’s really sad how there are so many fires going on right now.. This is supposedly the worst case of fires since 40 years ago, especially for this time of year! The reason for that is because of the record high temperatures for around this time of year combined with the winds. Luckily where we live has never been affected by raging fires because we don’t fall in a path where they tend to burn. We aren’t on a hill, in a forest etc.. which is the path they usually follow. Although about 10 miles from me there was a fire burning in Diamond Bar, some forestry area of the city.

When we would go outside we could smell the smoke though and see it floating in the sky, it was pretty nasty and sad. I guess it is really important to be careful where you buy your house because many houses were damaged and I believe some firemen were hurt as well. I hope everyone recovers well and gets back on there feet even though that may be easier said than done.

At this point though I’m more worried about this supposed big earthquake that’s expected, it could happen in this lifetime but then there is the possibility of it not but it’s supposed to be a 7 point something I believe. I don’t think I have ever felt something that big before, I’ve only felt a few earthquakes in my lifetime even though tiny ones are happenning all of the time. Just got to be prepared I guess!
