couldn't cry because there was nothing left in me at that point. so as i was praying the wind suddenly stopped and i thought were my prayers answered? and i sat there and i looked around and i realized that it was snowing and giant, giant flakes, like in utah, giant flakes. and i held out my hand and i caught one. i touched the ash and suddenly i knew i was in terrible danger because the wind had stopped. and it was not a miracle. it meant that the fire had created its own weather and it was right on top of us. so i ran inside the house and i said to my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, it's coming. we have to get out of here. it's coming.
