Got within 2 miles and the firefighters were able to beat it back as the winds changed for the better. (mostly it was the winds). Still considered "out of contro"l but moving away from us and back into open desert so we're happy.

Really shocked but very thankful that we didn't lose more homes.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers guys!
Thank goodness! Glad to see things are turning for the better.
