Flagstaff, AZ Fire.


Hey Everyone,
Please keep my brother Tom and his wife Kathy, in your thoughts and prayers.
They were evacuated yesterday morning from their home outside of Flagstaff, AZ. The fire is within a half mile of their home and is 0 percent contained.  My brother watched as is exploded yesterday.  It has already burned over 5000 acres and today is going to be windy and high's near 90.   I talked to my brother this morning.  They are staying in a hotel and although he seemed pretty calm his wife is not.
I guess the scene is really scary. 
Take Care,
Cindy

  3. Cindy,
    My thoughts and prayers are with your brother and family. I experience first hand having to evacuate our home due to an approaching fire. Most scariest and unsettling thing to see dangerous flames approaching. We must pray for the winds to subside and for the strength and safety of the firefighters. May all turn out well..
    Hugs!

  5. They will have my prayers. How frightening to witness, and to feel so helpless in stopping the fire's rampage.

  9. Living in California and watching the western fires has really educated me. And just because I'm here in Maine it doesn't mean that the same things can't occur here in our woods.

    We were in Flagstaff last month and we love it there. Our heart aches for the loss of forest, the loss of animal life, and the threat to homes.

    I'll be sending positive thoughts their way and praying for a good outcome. So scary.

    Love,

  10. My prayers are they can get this fire contained and your brother can go back home. From living in Phoenix for many, many years, I know this is such a bad time for fires in that area. I have a very dear friend in the Strawberry/Payson area that faces this problem every year.

  11. I used to live in Flagstaff and this fire is just breaking my heart. I have a girlfriend who lives right where this is happening (within a mile). Her parents also live in the area and like your brother, were also evacuated. Maybe they all even know each other...
    My thoughts go out to your brother and his family.

  13. Oh my, Cindy! Bless their hearts. We are so WET here in northern Indiana I find that kind of dryness difficult to fathom!

  14. Oh Cindy, I am so sad for them, for all of Flagstaff! I can't imagine the waiting, the wondering...
    My prayers are for total containment before any homes or lives or animals are taken.
    So scary...

    This is horrific. That picture says it all. Is it a wildfire?? I will keep Tom and his wife in my thoughts and prayers and look for this on the news.

    Stay away from the Mama Bears. They are the meanest when they have cubs. How scary! No rain for us but it's hot!

  22. Cindy, my thoughts go out to your brother - here in Australia we live in constant fear of fire in the summer. It is just sooo stressful at times.

  27. Cindy, How awful for your brother and his wife. I hope and pray that their home is completely spared. I guess I shouldn't be complaining about all of our rain, eh? At least our home is safe.
