I heard on the news that rain was expected and started up my prayers and good thoughts for all in danger. Sorry you are going thru this Scoot.

Good luck, Scoot! Here in Maine, it is cold, snowy, dark, windy, in the 20s. Do I need to add "miserable"?

It is really raining hard here and has been for several hours now. I'm hoping that those in the burn areas are somehow getting less and everyone is ok. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll.

Just checking in...at 1:45 am the police came through with sirens and bullhorns telling us we were under mandatory evacuations...at 2:09 the phone call came telling us the same. We loaded the car, but in the end stayed....so I'm a prisoner in my own home for the moment...once you leave you can't come back.

I'm so sorry to read that, Scooter. Is it because the rain can cause mudslides?

Yes Hukd...we are backed up to the burned hillsides...debris and mudflow is a concern. My husband ended up going to work this morning...I hope the evacuation is lifted before he gets off

That is awful. So if you leave, you can't come back but you are allowed to stay if you want to? I wonder what the logic is behind that?

Jimmer...Well in theory...in a mandatory evacuation it's mandatory that you leave. But with that in mind, they really cannot force you to leave your own home...they can only arrest you if you were hampering their efforts in anyway. I believe the logic is they don't want people driving all over the place and need to keep the roads clear. That's why I was so worried about the voluntary evacuation yesterday...during a voluntary you can come and go...but I wanted to get everyone home before it turned to mandatory. Hukd...thank you! ETA: Also, worse case scenario...if you stay you may not be ABLE to get out because of road conditions. It's just a calculated risk.

It's so hard to know what to do. I'm really thinking of you today and hoping that everything works out okay.

Scooter...thinking of you. We're in the same boat here in OC because of our fire last year. It looks better this morning than it did last night. I'm pretty sure ours will be lifted soon. Here's hoping yours will be, too. Thinking of you.
