Fire in Orange County hills

Hi - Yesterday the Santa Ana winds along with high temps turned a small fire near Corona into a major widlfire that ran through the Santa Ana river bed and up and over Chino Hills state park.  I included shots from our house during the fire and a couple from hiking trails that Helen and I requent that will now be burned.  (note the tumbleweeds as an example of the fuel in the canyons this time of year).  I believe Yorba Linda lost over 60 homes yesterday so many families can use help and prayers.  Some very beautiful groves of birch, live oak and black hickory trees were probably burned as well.  We're doing fine but everything smells/taste like a campfire.
