Hey Barbara. It's really close. I can't be outside because the smoke is so thick.

Ok, I'm going to bed. This is the first place I will look in the morning, hoping for good news...well, good news is probably out of the question, but I'll hope to read that Tara, Guy, and the kids are ok.

Tara, I thought of you this morning when I heard this on the news. Thought of Guy and all the others risking their lives to help.

Yikes, I read this on CNN and thought about Boom and others living in the area, didn't realize it was THAT close! Good thoughts and prayers, Boom and Guy!

I just got up so haven't looked at the news. last night on TV, it was absolutely unbelievable. It went from 30 acres at 6:00pm, to 3000 (i think) at 9pm when boom called...homes were burning everywhere...flames were reaching 60 feet in the air.

Tara, the first thing I did this morning was turn on the news and send good vibes your way. Scary! Please know we are thinking of you and Guy and the rest of the furfamily. I pray that he is kept safe while at work. Please let me know if their is anything you need or if I can help in any way. Good thoughts coming your way and big hugs too.

I've spent the whole morning watching the fire and water drops from the patio, talking with friends and neighbors and watching the local news.

It'll be a blessing to hear that it's wrangled. I'm glad Guy is where he is, despite going bananas. I like him being safe for you. It is such a sudden tragedy. My heart goes out to all of the little people that have lost so much. The big people can replace it in the blink of an eye, but the little people struggle so much already......

Tara, when I looked at the maps on the NorCal news last night, it looked like the fire was right in your lap...I just freaked out!

Agh.....MY San Luis??? I'll have to check out the local news, haven't seen anything about it so far. Maybe they're trying to not freak out the civilians!
