This afternoon the wind died down quite a bit and that slowed the advance of the fire. it's still zero percent contained but having the wind basically go away was a godsend. It'll probably be back in the morning but as least people will still have their houses until then.
I was amazed at how many helicopters and planes they brought in to fight this fire along with many hundreds of ground crews. They are taking it very seriously and are throwing everything at it they can get.
Earlier today I expected this to be a terrible tragedy. Now I'm starting to
feel a bit of optimism.
Keep your fingers crossed.
There but by the grace of God.....
