We had several friends in the Napa area, and we hoped/knew they were evacuated and didn’t hear from them until late yesterday. Everyone of those people voted for Trump.
There are 3 couples and 2 widows living in Silverado, and we have no info on them. Again, all of these people are/were Trump voters and long time real republicans.
In Santa Rosa/Sonoma, there are two 40 something women/sisters. They are like daughters/sisters. One has a couple of daughters and grandkids. One is an old fashioned Democrat, she voted for Trump instead of Clinton. The other is as conservative as we are. Again, we have not been able to contact them.
Yesterday, until about 2 pm, we couldn’t text or call friends and relatives with our cell phones, because of the high demand and loss of cell towers.
As noted yesterday, Santa Rosa and around the city of Sonoma look like Dresden after getting bombed in WWII. No one knows if people got caught in that inferno.
Know what? You make some excellent points.
I would say, at a time like this, political party affiliation should not be a criteria for concern.
no cell service, missing friends, threat to losing homes, just terrible and fires keep coming...inferno and Dresden are apt descriptions. Just heart breaking situation!
Keeping them in thoughts and prayers!
The #TubbsFire jumped SR29. If you are still in Calistoga, please leave. The #firefighters need to do their job. #CalistogaStrong— Jim Sullivan (@JimSullivan) October 12, 2017
It can't hurt. After mandatory evacuation, #Calistoga family leaves behind treats, family photos & a plea for firefighters. #napafires # pic.twitter.com/vooQdCQkLF— Katie Marzullo (@KatieABC7) October 12, 2017
