This whole thing is so terrifying... I have many old friends, whom I haven't spoken with in ages but I still think of all the time, in southern Cali, so this hits pretty close to home. I still remember driving through the Malibu hills in October 1999 and just seeing parts that had already been burned in previous fires...I believe there were some fires going on at that time, but we weren't actually around them. I remember feeling pretty shaken just at seeing the sheer amount of burned brush and all...I'm from Toronto, we don't get stuff like that here. I know the fires in Malibu are nearby some of my friends, given that we drove past Pepperdine University on our way to meet up with them and I heard the other day that the fires were getting close to there...so yah, scary, scary stuff.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you down there...I know it's just a part of living where y'all do, but that doesn't make it any less serious in my mind.
