Now, one thing that most people know about me is that I’m a realist. I hate drama. I love facts. I don’t like to speculate. After hearing the facts and looking at the fire map, I was 100% sure that my moms house was destroyed by the Witch Creek fire that mowed through Ramona. Where she lives is close to where it started and is dead center of so much destruction. Here are the latest maps of homes that where destroyed. The bubble is pointing to the street that my Mom and Gary live on and all the red houses shown are homes that were completely destroyed by the Witch Creek fire:

I honestly can’t believe that her house made it through and I am SO SO SO happy that it did. It was only one of a couple houses that are left standing in her community. The police gave my Mom and Gary 3 minutes to evacuate in the middle of the night. The police said that if they did not get out now, they would arrest them. They had to leave behind everything, including the horses and dogs. I still can’t believe what an amazing miracle it is that everything turned out okay for them.
