Deployed by Red Cross to LA

I received a call this afternoon from the Red Cross. I have been deployed to Los Angeles to assist in the Red Cross disaster operation in Los Angeles. I will be in the area for several days...up to 3 weeks. I fly out tomorrow.

On the NBC Nightly News tonight they said that over 800 homes have been destroyed by the fires currently burning in southern California. The air quality is very low.

My daughter, Carol, posted this picture on CBS5.com. She took it from her bedroom balcony yesterday.

Historic Building Burns in Brigham City

My husband has been volunteering for a local organization that makes 3 wheel vehicles for non-ambulatory people in 3rd world countries. They have been working out of a small section of an historic building in Brigham City. It appears that the fire was arson. The volunteers are not allowed in the building to get their tools or carts in progress since it is now considered a crime scene.

Here's the story:
