Firefighters trying to control the fire so it doesn't cross the north side to the south side of freeway (118).

If it crosses over the fwy, then only about 400 yards 'til the fire could be near structures.

Let's hope it doesn't cross the fwy.

The firefighters are heroes. My heart goes to them, too. They're right there sacrificing their lives!!

Weather channel is giving hope for tomorrow... predicting winds die down, and humidity rises!!

May the great wind stop and not take ANY sparks across the fwy. One show had a reporter telling, showing how those sparks are as large as a softball that are leaping across on the back of the wind to start new fires!

I'm so geographically challenged. My sis lives in La Mesa. I think thats a different fire than what Ms Moonie is near.

Prayers go out to MsMoonie and her family. God, please at least show them a way to safety, even if her home can't be spared.

Who yes, your sis is not close to Moonie, different fires.

And I fall on the Santa Ana winds side of things, sorry Mom..

I've hesitated to post here because I don't have any news or anything, but I just want to add my most sincere wishes that moondance and family and critters come out of this ok.

And If you all have any left-over prayers, we can use some here. I live in the Sierra Foothills and we are under a red-flag alert. This place, for 100's of thousands of acres is just a tinderbox. One spark and it's all over. They have pulled 17 of the 20 available fire crews from here and sent them south, so we are very vaunerable.

I'm sweating bullets, this is my first fire season here. Earlier in the summer we had 4 arson fires, but they got them out immediately, really lucky.

My thoughts are with those who are facing the real and immediate danger in So Cal now. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us up here.

Sea, I agree.. I didn't like the sound of them being surrounded.. I don't know how big of an area that is, but not being able to get out in any direction would just be too much.

I wish they had some of our rains.. It's been flooding so bad here. I wish there was a balance, ya know? You just feel so helpless.

Sun, will certainly put you on the prayer list. This whole thing is horrible to me and I have never been through anything like this.

Whoami, I am also having problems knowing what parts of S. Cal. are involved in the fires. I found this link earlier that has helped me. The info is current for 11:00p Sunday. My thoughts and prayers are with all in all involved areas.

I've wandered into this thread all day, and each and everytime it brings more tears. Not just because of the senseless fires that are happening and endangering thousands of people...but for the love that everyone has demonstrated throughout the thread. There are no strangers here. God bless you all and keep you safe.

I have good news!

Moonie is home! Electricity is on, water is on. Moonie is watching the fires on TV, even though they are right out her front door!

The fire hit a natural break where things had burned two days ago, and were prevented from getting near her house.

Cowboy and son are out getting them some food, and she is planning to take a well needed shower.

Moonie will even try to post later if she can, but she wanted everyone to know things are OK for now.

The kitties are also all OK, and the horses are being watched at the Equestrian Center.

The fires are still burning, and things could change at a moment's notice, but for now everything is going very well. Continue to pray, send all good vibes, and think good thoughts, and we will get Moonie, Cowboy, son, kitties, horses through all of this.
