The Sandy Fire started on May 18th in my hometown of Simi Valley, and it&rsquo;s been a roller coaster watching it unfold. Yesterday evening, we thought we were in the clear when the fire seemed to be moving away from the city and heading south over the hills. Rachel and I were cautiously optimistic. But then the wind shifted, and just like that, the fire was heading back toward us. It&rsquo;s one of those moments that really puts things in perspective—you&rsquo;re watching your city battle against nature, and all you can do is hope and trust that everything will be okay.</p>
