First thank God we are safe and doing okay. Many people lost their homes here about 100 is what the tv says. Its about 2 miles from home. I have an evacted family staying here. I'll be honest I dont know what to say. They think someone started it. Can you believe that? Well pray for us we have a wind shift change coming around 6 pm. Im pretty sure we are out of its way.

Oh, Patty! Be safe, I am thinking of you and your family. You are doing a good thing by letting another less fortunate family find refuge in your home.

Thanks everyone... So no school again today, but they just opened Interstate 95 which is very good. We went last night to check out the family that is staying with us house. The fence around it got burnt and the vinyl soffit around the house melted. But thats all WooHoo!!!! It my take a couple more days until the power is back on but God was there for sure. The property is burned all around her. The lady two houses down, lost her house totally. But she is safe. From what I understand it a total of 65 houses burn to the ground and the rest are damaged and no fatalies!!!!!!

Oh Patty girl, I am glad you and yours are safe - so sad for those who lost everything in the fire but good they didn't lose their lives. Even so, it's hard to lose everything one owns especially those things with sentimental value like family photos and such. Most kind of you to help others...

Take care and hang in there. I'm so glad you weather the fires! I hope they catch the rat that set them.

I was in the kitchen feeding my dogs and they announced on Fox news that the person who set the Florida fires may have been caught. It's little solace but at least that person won't be setting fires again... for a while.

I'm so glad you are safe - and still have a roof over your head! I hope they throw the arsonist in prison for a very long time. What were they thinking???

They have captured a suspect. A 31 year old man. He must really hate everything.

31 years old and burning up people's lives and possessions... sheesh. Horrible at any age but I cannot understand someone being so evil... and yet there seem to be more evil ones than ever these days. I hope they slap his butt in jail for life....

But they probably won't... ~ sigh ~
