Ack, I don't want burned out of my home!

So I just woke up and was getting my coffee. I looked out the window and though 'wow it's foggy outside'. But wait, it looks kinda dinggey for fog...Then I remembered the fires going on here. I stepped outside. Sure enough, it's not fog!! *sniff* It's SMOKE!! A thick blanket covering the whole area as far as I can see! I'm watching the news and checking out said news websites and no information on where exactly these fires currently are. The Sherrif hasn't come knocking telling us to evacuate, so that's good, but what if he does? Dan *just* left last night to go out on business, that means I'd be leaving with the kids by myself!!! And I would have to pack up the "just in case"'s that would be devistating to the loss! Like our photo albums and heirlooms, the things in an emergency fire evacuation you don't grab but always miss because they're irreplacable. But now we have the digital camera so the majority of our pictures are on the computer. Screw it, if I have to leave I'm taking the damn computer whole. I can go to my parents house if worse comes to worse but still...I DON'T WANT BURNED OUT OF MY HOME!!!!

Please send wet rainy thoughts my way!!!

Okay, it's been a few hours now and the smoke is starting to clear a little bit. I can tell that the wind is blowing in the direction *away* from my house. Still though, I brought the suitecases in from the garage and have them set ready to pack just in case.

Sending P&PT's your way! I know all to well about fires! If you get any hint that things may come your way, just get your laundry baskets and put your stuff in it by the door. Just in case! And yeah just grab the whole puter! That's what I would do, my pic's are there too. I sure hope it stay's clear of your neck of the woods. I saw on the news about all the fires there. We have one and its far away, but we have lots of smoke. Hang in there and keep an eye! I pray that you and your family are safe and the fires stay away!
