fire, evacuation, now cleaning


I definitely got evacuated on Tuesday due to the astounding wildfire. I helped a friend get her pets and cars out of her house which was even closer to the fire. It was terrifying. Driving as fast as was safely possible, rushing toward an area that I could see being consumed by flames, praying that we were quick enough to save pets. We got her out, we then went to my house, which was farther from the fire, but driving through the sea of smoke, watching ash and embers falls on our cars was beyond crazy. I grabbed my dogs, a few clothes, and off I went.

Thank goodness for my friend -- there was a relative's house we stayed at so we had showers and beds for everyone. It was worrisome and stressful, not knowing what houses were destroyed. Even worse was the news last night as they lifted some of the evacuation orders. The warnings about smoke and soot damage made me terrified that even though my house was standing everything might be un-useable.

So I came back home this morning. Everything is majorly dusty. I've emptied the vacuum twice already, but it is ok. The dogs are happy with being home with their stuff, and a shower at home felt like paradise.

Thanks for the well wishes and concern. I appreciate greatly!
