We have been in a motel with no internet due to a severed fiber optic cable for five days. We finally have internet back and are now waiting for the county officials to update the homes that have been destroyed. They are not up to our area yet due to heat. We hope to hear something in the next couple days. So far there have been 104 homes burned down and 61 saved. That is about 1/3 of our community of 350 homes and those are in the first part so being in the middle we have yet to be accounted for. So far this fire in 5 days has burned 80,000, acres and is only 5% contained. More to follow as long as the internet holds..

I have followed you for a few years. We have a cabin in wagon creek just inside the Hiway 160 gate. It is , has never been in danger. As soon as we can we will return and serve coffee, water, soda and a small respite to those that come by. Please come by if you can.
Prayers to all.

We continue to pray for all of the Forbes Park community. Glad to hear you are both safe. Hope your home is also. Isaiah 54:10
Since I have never experienced a wildfire myself I cannot even begin to imagine the emotions you are going through. I can tell you my thoughts and prayers go out to you
