In my post this morning, I said that the fires weren't anywhere near us. That's no longer the case. There is a fire in Corona, which is the city just north of us here in Chino Hills, but it seems to be moving in the opposite direction from us. There's another fire in Brea, which is where I was shopping yesterday, which is also nearby us. It appears to be moving west, which is away from us also. So, we're in no immediate danger, and fortunately, the hills behind us are pretty well cleared of brush (they were also sprayed with fire retardant earlier in the year, but I have no idea whether or not that would be of any use at this point). We can't smell any smoke from our house right now.
Please say a prayer for all of those who are affected by these fires. Southern California is a tinderbox, and the low humidity and very high winds make for the potential for more and more of these fires to spring up and to spread rapidly.
