Out-of-Control Wildfire Whips Through Santa Cruz Mountains, Prompts Evacuations

Santa Cruz, CA —  Gusty winds fanned a wildfire Thursday that burned several homes, forced evacuations and closed schools in the mountains of central California, where rugged terrain frustrated efforts to get a handle on the fast-moving blaze.

Hundreds of people fled as the nearly 4-square-mile fire continued to grow despite more than 500 firefighters and a swarm of tanker planes and helicopters dousing the area.

Residents of hundreds of homes were asked to leave, but many are unoccupied vacation houses. No injuries had been reported.

Irene was up early, went to Starbucks and to the bank, strolled Bed Bath and Beyond and ultimately rushed her way through Safeway because of hunger pangs.  She was “blown away” by the fierce wind each time she was in and out of the car running errands.  However, I came home to dinner and enjoyed a delicious home made turkey pot pie!!  Yum …. !!!!!!!!

Irene’s nausea remained at a low roar until evening when it intensified and her extreme fatigue continues…

Do you know the song, “same song same verse” …. !!!??!!!

Second verse, same as the first!!!!!!!!!

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire
Deuteronomy 4:24a

Describing God as a “consuming fire” is an intriguing metaphor worth musing upon.
