Reading on Twitter they’re about to evacuate Oroville. You going to be ok? Be safe.
Apparently that was incorrect info- Oroville not under evac order as of now.
Death toll now at 23 with 110 unaccounted for/missing.
There is a town hall going on in Chico right now. Winds are expected to hit 50 mph. The situation is fluid. The area above us, in Berry Creek has been evacuated. Heard the traffic going by on our road. 23 deaths. Many found in homes and cars. They have brought in anthropology expects from Chico State to help shift through ruins.
Smoke bad all day. Ash falling tonight like a soft snow. Weird. The city proper of Oroville is safe for the moment. The Sheriff is stressing that. But be prepared for changes. That is the word. Internet and cell service real crappy throughout the county. Like that is something to complain about. A whole town is gone...literally.
We have loaded up the RV with all the important papers and such. The othe vehicle with our fair goods and the other vehicle all the dyes and blanks if we have time. Our assemnbly point believe it or not is Feather Falls Casino. I recommend the Mongolian Grill if you ever get there.
Not yet...but the Sheriff has moved busses into town just in case they are needed. He doesn’t want to get caught short like when he had only 20 minutes to evacuate a city during the dam fiasco. At this point there is no evacuation warning for the city of Oroville, but he says be prepared to leave if neccessary.
Nothing will happen in Oroville, how do I know...because mywife and I took all that time to pack up the bare essentials. This is the one time I do not regret that small headache of having to unpack everything because it was not neccessary.
Latest update is that Cherokee is burning as fires have jumped two fingers of the Lake..More burning in the Berry Creek area too. Pins and needles time.
