Not a great day in Northern AZ

[purplepoet20]

Massive Wildfire... not far from where I live is a wildfire. The worst part is that area had a wildfire a few months ago and then flooding the weeks after, a teen girl drowned. I fear what will happen with this fire and after since the summer storms are coming.

Having a hard time reaching my friends who are about to loose their homes or have already... praying for Robin, Jeneda, and Lisa.

Friend Robin just emailed... family, pets, house ok. Didn't know another friend Sunny lives in the evac area and almost lost her house but was able to return just a little while ago.

The fire was 100ft from Sunny's front door. They were able to go back and save animals but are now leaving because the smoke is really bad around there house.

it's terrible this time of year. I'm in the valley--when there was a really bad on a few years ago, we went camping afterwards and it was so sad to see all the burnt trees. praying for your friend!

When fires start this early there will be more and that scares me.... Where do you live? Your profile name says Sedona.

So far I have heard from everyone, except one but I am hoping she went to visit family on the RES and that is why no one can reach her... the house that exploded was accross the street from one of them and she said it was empty because the people moved out last week.

Sooo sorry.
