Decent weekend. But a Nerve racking ending. Packed to evac
 

Damn it.

I’m packed to run. Fire is in Napa and apparently headed this way. Taking the basics. It will hurt to lose my stuff.

But I’m not grabbing everything. Futile.

I hear nothing but sirens. No sleep tonight I suppose.

At least I’ll get new socks!

Damn Cliff. I hope the winds blows the other way. Stay safe pal.

I might have a mild PTSD affect going. Fire trucks ripping by sirens on, effs me up. Big time.

Ahh, this sucks! Hard to hear, pelican brother on the edge and a beautiful state on fire.

Wishing best to you and the wife Vash..

I'm not a religious person, but tonight I'm praying for you.

Prep for the worst, hope for the best. Might be a good time for that prolonged visit to your wife's brother?

Agreed. Drop in on the BIL.

Video your stuff now, as you aren't sleeping.

Good luck. We just did this drill. It sucks.

Best wishes, Cliff. Wish I was close enough to give you a hand with something.

Oh man, I had no idea. Let me know if you need a place to stay.

Sorry to hear this Vash. I too will say a prayer in hopes the winds change and your house is saved.
Good luck

Terrible. Best of luck.

Fought traffic out. We are in Martinez CA. All good.

Fire is over the ridge and heading down to the Cliff abode. Eek.

Nothing but fire trucks heading in. People headed out. I got a great feeling. They will stop it.

1 or 2 beers at the BIL and I’m going to bed. Thanks.

Best of luck! I really hope it works out well and they’re able to hold the line. Horrible stuff those fires... I can only imagine how unsettling it is seeing something like that bear down on you.

Stay safe Vash!

Any early news about the fire, I hope you/family are safe, and don't have to deal with any loss...praying !

Best of luck Cliff.
Stay safe.

Not fun. At the beginning of every hurricane season, our neighborhood POA sends out an email with a list of things to take when you evacuate. One of the things is your insurance policy for your property. Probably not a bad idea for you also. Hope all goes well for you.

Stay safe... I'm hoping for the best outcome.

Stay safe Cliff ... best to you and your family. I just can't imagine...

Nasty business, wildfires.
Hope all is ok, Vash.

We'll pray for your safety and keep your home, all the contents from harm.

Good luck, Cliff!

Stay Safe!

Stay safe buddy. It sucks but at least the stuff can be replaced.

I have a feeling too Cliff. They will stop it. It's going to be alright.

We hear about the fires here, but don't really think about it much till one of our brothers is affected. Sending some good vibes your way bud , hope you are back in your place asap with no damage

Good Luck Cliff.

Good luck! I hope for the best.

Stay safe. We lost a whole town not that far south of us a few weeks back. The devastation from the fires in incredible. Ugh.

take video and photos and GET THE HELL OUT. Its hard, i know living in hurricane zones for decades. But, things can be replaced, life and limb not. be well and stay safe.

Quick note. Call your insurance agent. Some policies have a provision where they will pay to proactively put retardant on your home. It works. You have to ask and you have to have this provision.

forgot to ask you about this during our text exchange last night and awoke this AM thinking about reaching out. figure id check here before i bugged ya. my thoughts are with you guys right now. glad you are out safely.

Damnit, I am very sorry to hear this.

I have some outdoors items I will send your way once you get through this Cliff.

Prayers for you Cliff and Trekkor, Don Plumley and all the other Pelicans and people affected. Been there, done that, it ain't no fun.

Bated breath...hoping for good news.

Hoping for the best! We were evacuated earlier this summer and boy oh boy it sucks. I took some clothes , two generators and my old Tacoma. My wife tried to get the entire house into the Tundra.
I think since everything is insured then why drive yourself nuts trying to decide what to take. My wife still hasn’t put most of the stuff she took back.

Sending only the most positive thoughts toward the west coast.
Hope all is well with you guys!

the fire is between Bothe St pk and the Hwy just above Santa Rosa

a close friend's daughter lives there - I've known her since her birth - 30 years

Best wishes to all

I keep checking back on this thread hoping to hear good news from vash...

Lotsa folks here pulling for ya bud....
