Getting Kinda Scary...

We've been getting more and more smoke every day... with almost no idea of exactly where all the smoke is coming from. We keep hearing about new fires popping up, jumping highways, and now some of them are starting to force mandatory evacuations. Our sonogram technician was just forced to race home to try to save a few of her animals because the fire is now 1 mile from her home. So, we won't be seeing the first pictures of our baby today... but we hope she can get home and back out safely. Resources are seriously limited, and the fires are really starting to rage out of control. Many of them are joining together, and with this heavy smoke everywhere- they have had aircraft grounded and are fighting with what they can on the ground. We don't feel like we are in immediate danger here, because they have an evacuation center set up at the school across the street- but are definitely checking in with friends frequently to try to stay on top of fire activity. Hope you are all staying indoors where you are... because I hear most of Northern Ca is dealing with terrible fires and smoke, like us.
