As I watch cable news from Ohio, I cannot imagine the terror you are feeling. Wishing you safety and keeping you in my prayers.

Gina and Family -

Stay safe and know that many, many people all over the world are thinking of you right now and praying for the best! Keep us updated! I'm doing the rain dance!

Gina

NJ sends its thoughts & prayers. I heard the winds may be slowing down today- may that help stop the fires. Keep us posted. Be safe! ~Susan

Gina, I can't imagine how terrifying this is for you. As I watch on TV and see homes go up in flames, my heart goes out to each one. I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers that you remain safe and untouched on all 3 fronts with the fires. Keep us posted as you can. A big hug to you and know that you have friends across the globe that care.

Dear Gina,
My prayers are with you and all of those who are affected by the fires. I am on the other side of the country, but let me know if there's anything I can do.

How scary. Those fires are terrible. Please check back in - I hope you have good news for us. Stay safe.

My heart goes out to you and all of your neighbors. Stay safe!

Goodness. I'm praying for you guys - I can't imagine how frightening this is for you. My mom works at the Red Cross and has been keeping me updated on what's going on with the fires. Please keep safe!

Oh Gina, my family and I will be praying that all is safe for you and yours. May God protect you and help those brave people fighting this scary monster (Monsters don't live under the bed they are very real!)

Be safe! We are praying the fires will be out soon and everyone will be safe.

Hey Gina... you're in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe. :)

An Update from Gina:
So far so good. My shop and home are about 8 miles apart. Nearly everyone who works for me has been evacuated from their homes. I am at my shop checking things out. Everything is OK. We passed through fire and smoke to get here--literally on both sides of the road. Some in my neighborhood are evacuating. We are ready when necessary. Lots of police and firefighters doing wonderful things. It is smokey and hard to breath, but the winds are not as bad as yesterday.
Thanks for the support.
Gina

Gina, my thoughts and prayers are with your and your family. Take care and stay safe.

Gina - my thoughts & prayers are with you & yours. Be SAFE!!! Do NOT be a hero! "Things" are replaceable, but people & pets are not. I am sending you all my + juju & wishing for the best possible outcome! Hugs, Pam

Gina,
Stay safe, you have my prayers for you and all the CQW crew. Your updates are more information than the news.Thanks,Cecilia

Oh Gina, . . . I cannot imagine all the different directions that your heart is being pulled at a time such as this. Please know that I am praying for you & your family & all those affected. xo, Bren

Gina, you're in my prayers. Scary to have a kid in danger so far from home. We were trying to leave on Northbound 5 yesterday and had to drive out 23 to go around the fire..just grateful to be safe. It was awfully scary when we got as far as San Fernando. When we got to Castiac you could see the flames beyond Magic Mountain. SCARY STUFF. I hope that you're all safe and sound, and that your home and business are spared. xop

My house is open to you and your family. We had another family here last night (family of 6 + 2 dogs + 2 cats) They were ok to go back this morning, but are now "behind the lines". My parents' place is at Lambert & Kramer which was evacuated this morning and seems to be a hot spot today.

Good luck and many prayers to you and yours!

Gina,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Stay safe - hopefully this will be over soon. Kathy Brown

Glad to hear everything is ok. Still sending prayers.

Gina, prayers are being sent for you and all others who are affected by the fires.

Gina! We're so worried about you! Keep us posted....sending loads of prayers your way and hoping for a few miracles in the mix. Stay safe!

Hi Gina,
Any more updates? I found that I can listen to KNX online and have been hearing all about the fires. I'm hoping that the decrease in winds will help keep you safe.
Sending positive thoughts your way.

Gina,
I have been closely watching your area as we have good friends who live on Via del Cerro off Yorba Linda Drive (or ave. not sure which). I talked to them yesterday and could hear the planes going overhead and prayed that they would be all right. As I watched coverage, I feared they might have to evacuate and that there home could be in danger. But today they called and they are all right and so is their home. So many have lost so much and even when you escape with your life, the enormous sense of loss in knowing that pictures, family treasures, maybe a pet, or quilts were lost, it still really hurts. I am involved in a group here called Sew and Share. We made quilts and such for Iowa flood victims and if there is any way we can help please let me know. Our Sew and Share blog is at http://sewandshare at blogspot.com/

Gina,
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Be Safe !
