Are people letting their horses loose if they can’t evacuate them? I think that I would let my horse loose if I couldn’t get him out... Actually, I might be inclined to mount up and head for the ocean.
My sister is fairly certain her place will be burning...under mandatory evacuation. Luckily my sis is a part timer and in Utah now.
These horses were fenced up.Sorry about you Sister’s house.
Hope this may be of some help:
