Linda, I was wondering when we would hear from you again. I hope that you are okay...I'm sure you are totally stressed. I wish that there was something that I could do for you. Know that I'm sending P&PT.

Here is a website that you might appreciate: http://sosdfireblog.blogspot.com/

Most of the posts seem to be added by writers at the Union-Tribune so hopefully they are accurate. Notice that the one about the Lake Henshaw evacuation says that it is a precautionary evacuation. So maybe the situation isn't really urgent and your neighbors have time to drive out peacefully? Presumably they've been packed for days just waiting for a call. I sure hope that common sense prevails and that the fire doesn't get to the Lake anyway.

Has Bill talked to anybody at Harrah's? I haven't seen anything on the news about it, this blog had a brief article on Wednesday that said that the fire got close but the casino/hotel was not damaged.

Keep in touch Linda.

Linda, I'm glad you are safely out of there and I will continue with P and PT for anyone else in the area where fires are burning. I haven't kept up with details of the news lately other than this morning I heard that the winds are dying down and the air has more humidity in it(?) and that some fires are in control, I think I heard this on the radio. I didn't catch any more news about the fires on our local t.v. station's news this evening..I didn't get to watch all the news.

I sure hope this comes to an end asap.
Take care,
Hugs,
Shirley

Oh Linda-adding hugs to the prayers & positive thoughts you already knew were there with you.Now you have to worry about your friends, as well as about your home there.


Our news (last night)said that they were more positive that the fires were under control-or those that aren't already, are closer to being so.It also said that the fires were deliberately set!What kind of sick mind would do this?To me, somehow, this makes a bad situation even worse-who would try to damage or destroy so much?The fire chief that CBC interviewed said that whoever did it, knew what they were doing-did it very methodically & thoroughly!


Hope you get back up to the lake soon-good to know Bill will have a job when he returns, & I hope your home is safe & your friends too.
