These Santa Ana winds always create devastation everytime. Thank you Everyone

Originally Posted By submarine-maniac UPDATE: 8 homes were lost in corona so far. The fire has moved out towards Yorba Linda and Anaheim. Unfortunately, the winds are very high right now.

Tiggirl, I don't know where in Corona you live, but I hope you are further away from it than I am.

Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid We are in Newport and we can see the smoke coming. My parents are in Santa Clarita and are watching where the fire goes from the Newhall Pass, sadly, it's that time of year again. It doesn't seem like an Autumn season until we have some raging fires. I'm saying prayers for everyone including a friend's mother who lost her home early this morning in Sylmar.

Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid Air quality is a serious problem as well, grandparents who already have breathing problems suffer from this even though they aren't in immediate danger. If you have bad asthma like my husband, fires make it for a rough day to leave the house. I can't imagine having to leave my home with all of my belongings either. I'm a wreck right now of emotions for my family in Sylmar and Santa Clarita and my friend in Yorba Linda.
Originally Posted By submarine-maniac Freeways are absoluetly horrible also. the 91 and the 57 has been shut down. It's looking like I won't be able to get to Disneyland for my shift tonight. I'm hoping the winds don't shift as well. My house is within 2 miles of the flames!
Originally Posted By Tiggirl Thanks to Nikki for letting me know about this thread. I am down south for the weekend so I'm okay. I have given my friend strict instructions to go get my kitty if the fire gets closer to my place. It sounds like it's going in the other direction now? I hope all the rest of you Corona-ites are hanging in there!
