and watch the coverage of a fire that is less than a mile away and completely uncontained. The part that shook me was that they went to bed after this. What on earth?!? Fire can spread so quickly-- you don't want to be asleep if it suddenly rushes toward your neighborhood.
And you don't want to stay behind, either. There was a family up in Oregon that decided to wait until morning when the father would be back before they would all leave together, and the fire got closer during the night. They got up early and tried to get out, but not all of them made it. :(
I'm so glad your parents are safe, and I'm cursing the family that started that stupid fire. I'm not a fan of 'gender reveal' parties anyway, but setting off a forest fire with one of them is the ultimate transgression. :(
