The #tenajafire is raging less than 2 miles from our home. It started around 4pm yesterday and so far over 1400 acres have burned. The fire, as of this morning, is only 7% contained. The cat went into hiding under the bed 🐈

These firefighters are amazing and they have ordered more air power and been attacking by air since daybreak. Our street is still closed and they said to expect to be evacuated for another 48 hours. They said the winds are picking up, but we are speaking to the wind! AND we have Psalm 91! Love you ALL and thank you all for standing with us. #psalm91 #tenajafire

I was one of the last cars up the hill yesterday, before the roads closed, we made the decision to leave immediately before the evacuation orders were set.✌🏼🔥 ***If anyone needs help with evacuating animals, contact me.*** #tenajafire #lacrestaliving #drivingoutofthefirearea #ratherbesafethansorry
