Please pray for our kids they are being evacuated near Mira Mesa. This is such a horror my wife is in tears and there is nothing we can do here for them. This is so unbelievable, they worked so hard on their house it makes you cry. Please pray freepers!
Prayers up for your kids. Tell your wife not to worry too much...San Diego folks are taking care of each other.
Praying for their safe evacuation. The house while important can be replaced if needed. I do understand the hard work on a house though.
Where near Mira Mesa are they being evacuated?
I live in Rancho Pnasquitos and I am still in my home. THe fire would have to get to MANY homes before it gets to Mira Mesa.
Will do. I pray for their safety.
Where are they going to? Do they have plans???
You can COUNT on our prayers!!!!
Praying for your children Empire!
Will be glad to, we are here for you :)
One of the things I hate about reporters hyping these stories is what it does to folks like you who are worried about a loved one. This type of fire generally takes out only houses within a block or so of a brush area. Even with houses on fire on both sides of the street, you can drive down the middle unharmed (I’ve done it). The deaths and injuries generally come from being asleep in the residence at the time the fire breaks out and getting overcome by smoke, running back into a burning house without any protective equipment, or getting trapped in the middle of the brush and having the fire blow over you. About the only physical risk in an urban evacuation is bad driving from distracted ‘flee-ers’.
The percentage of residences lost in urban areas that aren’t near a canyon is pretty small. We’ve spent the day today watching the Witch Creek fire burning across the wildland area to within about five blocks of us. We never got an evacuation order because the FD knew we weren’t at any real risk.
Prayers for them at this time, and will continue through the night and tomorrow. Please let us all know when you get word.
Please give your wife a big hug, and assure her that God is going to protect your children. Bless your hearts!
