Still no word on my Show Low resident sister and her husband. The entire family's now trying to get in touch with them, so far with no luck.

I'm not optimistic. They would have contacted us if they could have, days ago. I hope their home and property is all they lost.

This is going to be one bad summer. California is going to make Colorado and Arizona look like kid's play when it is over. I pray for the folks out there in Arizona right now, and fear when it is our turn.

Right now in LA for example, we are about to end the rain season 10% below the all time record for rain totals. That is staggering. 10% below normal... so what.. 10% lower than ever, when you think about it over 150 year cycle is mathematically shocking.

President Bush might need to get pro-active federally and declare the west a disaster zone before hand, and get federal funds, fire equipment, etc moved out before things get worse. They will get worse.

Strela. I hope you hear from your family soon. Maybe they're on the road moving out.

Please send me the info - I am a Ham radio operator and we have been monitoring (repeater links from Vegas into the Sho Low area) the situation. We have did have full contact until yesterday afternoon. Trust me, just as soon as the operators down there can get back on the air, they will. And they will have their act together to handle inquires such as yours.

Be glad to help.

If it is any consolation, I was listening to KFYI on the way out of Phoenix this morning (Sunday) they had a live update from Show Low, the Forest Service Spokesman said at that time there had been no injuries or deaths.
