It was supposed to be an ordinary Thursday morning.

School drop-off.

Three kids under five.

A couple of kittens.

Meg dropped her children off at school...until she looked up and saw a massive cloud of smoke rising behind it.

Something didn't feel right.

She trusted that feeling, walked back into the school, gathered her children, and headed home.

Minutes later, her husband called.

"LEAVE. NOW."

What followed was hours trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic as the deadliest wildfire in California history raced toward Paradise. The sun disappeared behind a sky filled with smoke. Cell service vanished. Trees burned on every side of the road.

With three young children in the backseat, two terrified kittens, and no way of knowing whether they'd make it off the mountain alive, all Meg could do was stay calm for her babies...and quietly ask God the question no parent ever wants to ask:

"Are we going to get out of here alive?"

This week, Meg shares the unimaginable story of surviving the deadliest wildfire in California history, the split-second decision that saved her family, the trauma that followed, and what it's like to watch your world burn while holding on to hope one mile...one prayer...and one breath at a time.

Because sometimes...

The most terrifying horror stories don't come from Hollywood.

They happen on a Thursday morning.
