The past several years have been really hard on California with the wildfires that burn thousands of acres before the firefighters can get them under control. Last year there were horrific fires in northern California as well as southern California. This year we have had a large number of fires, too, especially this past June.
There’s a fire just north of L.A. that is being fueled by heavy winds today. There are mandatory evacuations again, and hundreds of homes are at risk of being wiped out. There is even a chance that the rest of the city will have a problem with loss of electricity because of this fire.
We all need Mother Nature to give California a break.

These fires are getting bigger and more frequent, aren’t they? I worry about my California friends every time there is a story in the news about wild fires. I hope you and your family stay safe.
