hey Rocc! Thank G-d we're fine...we're home still. The fires are north and south of us. Evacuations are about 5-6 miles north of us and then again, 20 miles south.

Many of our friends and co-workers have been evac'd. We have 2 families staying with us... the city's a mess, frankly. Road closures, so many people evacuated, ash everywhere...folks can't go to work, obviously. Even the military bases are working with essential personnel only...

The new stats are 1000 homes destroyed..the destruction is enormous.
