Most of you who read this blog (all 2 of you) know where we live in relation to the affected areas where fire has broken out, but just in case, we wanted to post an update on us and our respective immediate family during this tragic time of loss.
The Cruz Jr.'s (Nick, Susan, J.T. and Eden): We are out of harm's way. School was cancelled for Monday although Susan still has to report for work. =( One of the preschool teachers lost their home. One of our friends had several homes on their street burn down, but not theirs. Susan's cousin, Angel, whose house was a few blocks away from the affected area in Anaheim Hills was safe. Church was really difficult to get to this morning, due to the 57 Fwy Northbound being closed at Lambert and the 57 Fwy Southbound being closed altogether. We were a lot more late than usual.
The Cruz Sr.'s (Noel, Julie, and Sarah - Nick's parents and sister): They are probably about 1-2 miles from the burn area. They had a "Mandatory Evacuation" on Saturday night. Although they were packed up,ready to leave and stay over at our place, they did not go. While perched on their roof, they witnessed some potential looters driving around. No cars were allowed in or out of the area so they rode their bikes around instead. Chickens and koi fish are okay.
Villena's (Ed & Vicki - Susan's parents) - They are about 2 miles from the burn area. They are not worried.
Please pray for all of those in this area that were affected or could potentially be affected. It really makes you appreciate all you have and to focus on the less trivial things.
