My family, business and I lived in California for 13 years. The first 8 in LA/Orange County and the last 5 in Northern California. We moved right after high school and in many ways I grew up there.
I was part of a large animal evacuation team in southern and northern California for years. But it never got so close personally as this one night in Vacaville at the barn I was working at and surrounding area, it happened so fast in the middle of the night and it is something I will never forget.
To see many of the beautiful places we used to visit and loved burned to the ground all the way to the beach in LA this past week is hard to watch and my heart and prayers go out to the families affected. ๐
