Grannyg | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:32 pm     Weinermr, I was worried that you hadn't posted. Tell them at work, you have other people to be concerned about and you can't deal with them right now. |
Twiggyish | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:36 pm     Please keep us posted you guys!!! My thoughts are with you all.. Hope Moonie's horses are ok, too. |
Hippyt | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:39 pm     Thanks for the update Mrweiner! Who,I sure hope you hear from your sis soon! |
Weinermr | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:40 pm     I just spoke with Moonie again. She wanted everyone to know that she is fine. They are surrounded by fires on all sides and pretty much can't get out of the area, but she is safe where she is. Their house is currently safe, and should continue to be as long as the winds don't shift drastically. They and several other people are moving horses from place to place to keep them safe throughout the day and the shifting fires. Typically unconcerned about herself, she asked me to post that if there is anyone out there that has horses or other animals in Box Canyon, Woolsley Canyon (sp?), or anywhere else in or around the Simi Valley, I can give them her cell phone number and she and others can help get their animals to safety. She is understandably overwhelmed and scared (she didn't say so but I could hear it in her voice). Let's all pray for Moonie, Cowboy and son, and their continuing safety. |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:45 pm     I really wish she would leave the area after getting the horses to safety. (if they can still can get out of the area). |
Babyruth | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Thanks for all the updates. Good to hear from Weiner today, and to also to hear about Moonie (although her position sounds worrisome). Hoping that Who hears from her sis soon! |
Grannyg | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Weiner, do you know how close the fires are to her. Love, Hugs and Prayers. |
Reader234 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Adding prayers... Hear our prayers Moonie, Cowboy and son. Do not let those winds shifts. You can move mountains, kill the winds, add the humidity. Hear our prayer Thank you weinermr. |
Weinermr | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Grannyg, I think they are very close to her. She described the situation as surreal, which we all can well imagine. I think all the prayers we can muster will not be out of place in this situation. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:02 pm     Thank you Weiner for the update. Finally got through to Sis. She is also ok. She was home the whole time. She now has two couples staying with her who were evacuated. They'd been on the phone all day, and their phone had gone dead. That's why she didn't answer. One couple just got the word that their house is safe, but the entire row of houses just across the street from them burned to the ground. Sis says walking around out there is like walking on a moonscape, everything is covered in ash. The fire got within a mile of her clinic in El Cajon. But it was one of the smaller fires, and it stopped in time. Lots of buildings/parking lots before the clinic (I was fortunate enough to see it in August). But man, from these reports, it looks like not much is stopping these flames. Her clinic is in Rancho San Diego. She said that once it was reported that the fire had reached there, she'd gotten a lot of calls to see if the clinic was safe. I'm SO glad I didn't hear before hand that Rancho San Diego was affected. I'd have really freaked out! I told her about poor Moonie's horses. Sis said that a lot of people that can't get their horses out are just letting them loose. Rather than have them trapped in stalls/corrals, that at least the horses have some sort of chance of escape if they can at least run away. |
Hippyt | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Geez,that is so awful Who! I hope Moonie doesn't have to do that,it would just break her heart. Here's a satellite image I got from CBS.

Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Indian Falls area of Simi Valley/Chatsworth really threatened right now. Multi-million dollar homes here (not that the cost of a home matters) might not be able to be saved. |
Weinermr | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:49 pm     I just spoke with Moonie again. She called me back with good news about being able to stop at the evacuation center to get something to eat and drink and spend the night at home. I was about to post that good news. Then she called me again asking us to send our strongest vibes her way. It looks like the fire has turned again and is heading towards her house. Please everyone, send your strongest vibes, thoughts, prayers, everything you've got to turn the fire away from Moonie's house. I'm headed for home right now and won't be in contact with her until I get home. |
Grannyg | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:52 pm     Father God, Hear our prayers. |
Twiggyish | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:53 pm     This is horrible. My prayers are going, too. |
Hippyt | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Praying,again,here. |

Bookworm | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:58 pm     Moonie and family are in our thoughts here too. |
Jeep | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 05:59 pm     OMG, please be safe Moonie and all your loved ones and precious animals, too. I'm praying hard. |
Mak1 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 06:00 pm     My thoughts and prayers are with Moonie and everyone else, human and nonhuman, in danger from these fires. The images on tv are horrifying. God bless the firefighters, what an overwhelming job they have! |
