2. Oh dear -

that does not sound good - good thoughts headed that way.
I just learned they are a hub of artists and crafts people. They need to grab their art and run.

3. Just sent a prayer their way

4. Frightening, and in late November,

sure seems like a symptom of climate change.

Been through some bad fires out here in California; hoping they'll get some rain to help get this monster out.

5. I'm shaking.

Saw the video of the flames right outside the Park Vista, where we often stayed.

I'm sick over this.

We own property near the wildfire burning in Walland. That fire burned 1500 acres and thankfully is now 90% contained.

Damn arsonists are having a hay day in the mountains. Tensions are so high that someone could be shot just on suspicion of arson.

This is horrific.

Thanks for posting!

6. Rains are predicted

for the region today, but unfortunately high winds in some places.
