I never thought I would be evacuated from my home due to a fire but here we are. The River and Ranch Fires in Northern California caused the evacuation of thousands of residents including the whole town of Lakeport and Upper Lake. After a week the fires are still burning and have destroyed at least 20 residences including My Aunt and Uncles home. Here is a video of our evacuation and some photos of the fires. Please pray for Lake County California and for those that have lost everything in these fires.
