| | It has been crazy out here in southern california past couple days. There have been fires everywhere, spreading to wider areas. It is quite scary watching the news, looking out the window and seeing the sky covered with smoke.
Last thursday, i believe, was the first day i saw this whole thing started. i guess it started on wednesday night, but on thursday morning when i went out to walk the kids before the work, the sky was covered by what it seemed like purplish white thick clouds. and surprisingly, the sun was like a ball of fire, burning red! of course, i freaked out and wondered what the heck was going on... later, i found out that it was because of the massive fire that was going on... and as the days pass, there have been two more fires developed, and the fires spreaded massively!
 
they said that this is the most devistating fire in southern california ever in a decade. so far, 13 people died and over 1100 homes were burnt and destroyed, and over 400,000 acres of earth were effected by fire. the footages they showed on the news are really... devistating. the houses are burnt to the ground, leaving nothing but ashes. Simi Valley, east of San Bernandino, and San Diego county areas are the ones that are being effected. and the place where I live, Burbank? it's kinda in the middle of Simi valley and San Bernandino, closer side of Simi Valley, but thankfully, our neighbor areas are safe so far. On the other hand, our studio is closer to where the fire is on Simi Valley. at this very moment, the sky outside of our studio is purplish redish thick white... on the way to work from my apartment, i could see the hill(valley) on the fire... i'd never seen anything like that. the left corner of the hill was smoking up and covered by thick smoke! the giant hill looked almost like a peice of cigarrett burning down little by little... all the birds were flying against the fire smoke and cops, firetrucks, news helicopters were flying or driving into the thick smoke. can you believe it? how crazy.... yikes.
my boss said from his house, he could see the fire. if the fire spreads over the hill, his house will be in danger, too. the producer of our new show, his car that was parked by his studio was covered in ashes. when you look at the footages of vast land in fire, it almost looks like the volcano has errupted or something. :( no wonder why it's so hot at night. since california has a desert weather, although it's burning hot during the day, it should get cooled down at night, but past couple days, even though the fire is quite far from my apartment, it just heated up the whole surrounding area....
please pray for those who lost homes, families, works, etc. ... and hope. This is the time when the prayers are needed the most and God's comfort is needed the most. i can't imagine losing everything in the flame of fire, not being able to do anything but watching your house disappearing into the ashes. Hope that the wind will die down which will help controlling the fire and people will be able to evacuate safely. ...i am just reminded again how helpless us human powers are against nature... against God. i really really hope that nobody that i know was effected by this fire... hope that God will give the victims new hope in Him and strong faith in Him in this time of difficulties........ |
