As it does pretty much every single year, it seems like the entire state of California is on fire as thousands of residents have been forced to flee their homes in recent days as the fast-moving Glass Fire continues to grow.
The fire, which sparked in Napa Valley early Sunday morning, grew from 2,500 acres on Sunday night to 11,000 acres on Monday morning, experiencing a growth rate of around 1 acre every five seconds, according to satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
On Monday, Danica Patrick shared some scary news on her Instagram page that her property is in the path of that fire and even showed off the damage it has already caused.
“I have been thinking a lot about what the lesson is in the fire that came through my property last night,” she began.
“I finally cried this morning at the idea that something I have spent so much time, money, effort, passion, patience, and did I mention money, on….. could just be gone. The dirt is still there but it’s almost impossible to get insurance because of how many fires have come through. Thanks a lot for that. So it will require the next level of all of those things I have already invested.”
“Then I stopped…… and thought, tonight I am going to bring a s–t ton of Somnium over to my friends house and honor what the project ACTUALLY stands for in my heart….. and that’s to connect. To sit at the table with loved ones and share life with each other. No phones (unless you need to capture a great moment). Open hearts. Honest sharing. Tears. Laughs. The real shit.”
“The name somnium means dream in Latin. And the bottle has a red dot that implies – you are here. So, I invite you to join me tonight in opening up some wine with someone or many that you love and just have a blast. Tell stories and connect. Be present. Be here now.”
