My thoughts are with those in the path of the fire. Having lived in Idyllwild, CA, for 15 years, and having to evacuate here before, I know how it feels to be in this situation. It was just a year ago we lost five local firefighters in a big blaze that happened during the Santa Ana winds. I've been on a fire line and was absolutely stunned by how fast a wind-whipped fire can move. Things can change quickly and drastically during these unpredictable winds, so if they tell you to get out, then do it quickly.

Cheers,
