  • Thank you for your daily updates! The pictures are sobering and certainly heartbreaking as well. Prayers for a change in weather to help aid in getting this, and all the other blazes, in CA under control and put out. HUGE PRAYER... i know! Along with prayers for the firefighters, the folks affected, control of the slides that will happen come winter rains... so much needs to be prayed for...
