Fire!

It's fire season, oops I mean fall. Some years back there was a large forest fire threatening our community. Evacuations were called we were basically homeless for a week. The kids loved it! They called it "evacuation vacation" no school for a week. It fell the week of Halloween and my daughters 16th birthday. No "super sweet 16", but unforgettable for sure. Turned out not to be a major disaster for us but other neighborhoods burned to the ground. Now when theres report of a fire I check google map to see the distance in direct line to calculate our risk and potentential for another impromptu vacation.
