My prayers for your cousin and family. My son and his wife are also in a motel, and they had good news. There was no damage to their house, but houses within a block of them were destroyed. They were allowed back in today during the daytime to clean out their refrigerator, etc., but can’t yet return for good. The house is full of soot and ash, and the gas is still turned off. There is an aerial picture of the Mountain Shadows neighborhood after the fire here: http://standeyo.com/NEWS/12_Pics_of_Day/120628.pic.of.day.html
I am not at home, so I have heard nothing about my cousin, is Mountain Shadows anywhere near Green Mountain Falls?
