I just found this thread.There is also another YT member that I have been watching for- Payton. She posted yesterday afternoon that she had been evacuated, and I have seen nothing from her since.
I keep thinking of the sheer horror all those people are going through, from the evacuees, to those exhausted fire fighters.
Thank goodness today, the winds have died down. When I go outside, everything is covered in white ash. I live on a hill top, and in previous years the dry brush close by has caught fire. During the past few days, I keep standing at the edge of my garden, scanning the hills around me.

I cannot believe the enormity of the disaster here in CA, the hundreds of thousands of people that have been evacuated, the hundreds of homes and businesses that have been utterly leveled to the ground.
Hugs and prayers to all of you that are or have been near the fires,
Lauren
