LA Fires / Southern California High Wind Warnings

The fire that's spreading throughout LA is heartbreaking. It probably hits harder for me because I'm close to the area vs someone who doesn't live in California. I'm not directly affected, but many people I work with are dealing with. The dirty air, clouds of smoke, and even ashes are felt all the way here in Orange County. My marketing director's home is possible burned down. All I know is they evacuated there home (which was built and completed a year or two ago). The founders of the company I work for, there homes are completely burned down. The neighborhood was burned down. Possibly the entire Palisades is burned down. 

Definitely not the way to start a new year. My prayers and thoughts go out to everyone in the area.

I have a lot of friends in LA and it's just been awful to witness in real time. I'm glad you and your family are ok and keeping everyone else in my thoughts.
