Okay, so not more than 2 hours after I posted my last entry, the police came by and evacuated us. The Castaic Ranch had come close to us. I got the kids to Simi Valley and I took a vacation day to stay with them and my mother-in-law. We were all fine and thankfully the firefighters were able to stop the advance in that direction. We were able to go back to our homes later on that night. The Ranch fire is still burning but it is now 75% contained. They hope to have full containment by Halloween.
