Horrible fires in southern California (close to my house)

As I woke up this morning I smelt fires burning outside. The fire started in Corona near Green River Drive off of the 91 freeway. There are also 2 other big fires burning in southern California.

There are ashes that are flying all over the city. My whole patio is almost layered in ash. It almost looks like snow that is hitting the ground.

Hot weather and strong winds are not helping the firemen put out the fires.

A few of my friends have had to evacuate there houses and sleep in other places. I am very worried about them and I hope that their houses will be able to be saved. I also pray that everyone has made it out of their houses safely and that no one is hurt during this time. :(
