It sure does help to have you all here with us virtually. Thanks everyone so much for your kind words & prayers.

What a horrible night....So many areas in So Cal are in big trouble. All I know here, pre-dawn, is that our poor little Santa Clarita Valley is being hit, house after house (Canyon Country, Saugus, Newhall, Valencia, Agua Dolce, Castaic). Fires are now approx. 5 miles from us as the crow/embers fly. The wind is kicking up again now. Praying for the fixed wing plane to get airborne at daybreak. Several fire helicopters flew half the night voluntarily. Amazing in this wind. Our biggest fear is flying embers & not hearing an evacuation horn since we're high up on a ridge & not near a neighbhorhood road. Kept spotlights on all night on house. I'm shocked to hear predictions of 90 mph gusts for today. I've never seen anything like this. Denise, you must have not gotten any sleep either. Please take care. Another 24 hours of this - hopefully, no more.
