So we thought this summer would be so calm and even a little boring since we were not really going anywhere, but who knew that staying home this year would be where all the excitement was.
This is the Monument fire that started Sunday, June 12th. This is night one right out my front door.
By the next day we thought things had calmed down, but then on Tuesday/Wednesday the winds hit and sent the fire across the Hwy into residential areas and about 1/3 of our ward was evacuated.
After that we thought we had seen the worst, but Mother Nature was not cooperating and Thursday brought a second fire that started on Fort Huachuca and many more evacuations.
Thankfully no lives have been lost. I have witnessed great love and support as many calls have come through our home to find housing for many of our ward members. Hopefully things will continue to get better and families will be able to return home soon.
