Hi Connie,

I thought you were somewhere near by (location wise), hang in there...let us know how you are doing!

Monday night was very scary, fire tornados going up all around, all hell broke loose. Hopefully we get aircraft today (???). Cal Fire Dept. is a broken wheel in regards to getting aircraft in the area. It's been touch and go, finally seeing fire trucks in town.  Initial estimates were 500 homes lost, now they are revising to 200-300. Still had homes going up yesterday with no visable support in the immeadiate area. The brave fighters are just spread too thin. Thankfully a small local market opened up today...everyone is buying beer, frozen food, and toothpaste (everyone? oh, that's just me! :P) Slept a total of 6 hours last 2 days. Still hunkered down. Thanks for asking!

Comitted to excellence through art.
