Burn Cali Burn!
Man oh man! I didn’t realize that California was burning to death since I had been out of town over the weekend and wasn’t able to read up on my news 
When my mom picked me up at the airport the other night, she asked me if I still talked to Nathan who has been a friend of mine for two years who lives in Southern California; I told her I hadn’t talked to him in awhile. Luckily, he had yesterday off and was online so we talked for a few minutes - he said that he wasn’t near any of the fires…well the fires were on the other side of the mountain from them so they weren’t close enough to be evacuated. During the conversation, he had to leave to go help his mom get his aunt off the mountain before the fires caught up to her 
Just glad he’s okay, I feel bad for the thousands of other people who have been evacuated and lost their homes to the fires, must suck to live out there…ugh! I’m telling you, the way those fires start and spread - the firefighters deserve trophies with the way they’ve been trying to handle the situation, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be doing much good considering that water-dropping helicopters were forced to stay grounded today because the conditions had gotten so bad that they couldn’t fly per government rules Hope they get things under control soon otherwise California will be burned to death and be no more!

I’m glad that your friend is okay! I can’t believe how devastating these fires turned out to be. I didn’t think it would get this bad when I first heard about it, or I guess I should say I HOPED they wouldn’t get this bad. I feel bad for everyone too.
