Waiting....

*click the top image, it'll come out clearer


57 Freeway Closed between Pathfinder and Lambert.
I'm really nervous and worried about our condo since Lambert Road is literally our street address. Although the Brea fires are somewhat small compared to the Corona/YorbaLinda/Anaheim fires, we've seen how devasting and quickly it could start sweeping through the cities. Currently we're in Corona by chance of luck being that today was my work day at Kaiser Riverside and Ron was at a study group in Chino Hills. As silly as it sounds, we're gonna try to head back to collect some important items from our home. We called our neighbors and they've assured us that no evacuation orders have yet been initiated. But just about 4 miles down our street, they've already mandated evacuation for those residents off of Lambert and Brea Blvd (the periwinkle blue colored areas on the map). It doesnt help also that the Santa Ana winds also heading west.... My parents' two houses in Corona were both spared since the Corona fires started around the Green River exit (more west and close to Yorba Linda). Currently my parents are literally stuck on the 91 Freeway because the police have closed the freeway after the 55 junction. So far, all I know is that it's going to be a long night. It's 8pm here and so far we've heard that All the fires are at Zero Containment.. *sigh*
