ML, where do you live? In Palm Springs itself? I am in Pioneertown - we got burnt out last Sat -Sun. 100' from the house and same from the barn. I learned in the Topanga/Malibu fire 12 years ago that if you stay with your property, the fire crews will also stay. That's how we did it this time. It was hot, though. All of you in fire areas are in my thoughts! ~ Anitra ~ ----- Original Message ----- From: milady Got 3 going in the area here. All within about 40 miles square. Morongo Valley, Poppet flat, Hemet area. North and s. west of my location. Hwy 62 thru Morongo is closed. 7 homes gone. Not a good situation--nothing is controlled.. know the feeling about getting ugly. shivering in my boots..what else will go up. ML ----- Original Message ----- This is getting UGLY!!
