Moondance | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:44 pm     I am on my way to meet Kim, she is a mess and hasn't slept in days worrying about him and since I got a few hours last night, I am going to take her. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:47 pm     Be safe Moonie!!! |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:52 pm     off of highway 38, big bear resident reporting. she is saying a steady stream of cars are on the road. so, people still leaving. (she is on the far end of Big Bear....the sky still looks blue). |
Sisalou | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:53 pm     My heart is just breaking for all of you. I am praying for Zmom's aunts and Pops. Who, I am glad you put your foot down!! Everyone please keep us posted about your safety. Hugs and prayers going out from here. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:02 pm     ...clutter...clutter...clutter Just popping back in to say you've all been on my mind today. My fingers are crossed. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:06 pm     I hope I'm not cluttering the thread with my posts. Maybe if anyone needs news updates, you could just ask....I'll check for it on the news for you. |
Wargod | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:08 pm     Just checked out the back door, and looked right at the Big Bear area..smoke is just now starting to peek over our mountains. Not sure how much of the smoke we'll get since we still have no wind at all. Moon, stay safe on your drive into the mountains! Zmom, anyone who has loved ones with breathing problems or who has been through this before understands your concern and worry, and you certainly aren't cluttering up the thread. It's very frightening and serious to anyone with breathing probs. Just seeing the smoke peeking over the mountains had me going to put Dakota's inhaler with the stuff I have to take with me when I leave a little later. Hugs to you. Prayers and positive thoughts for everyone dealing with this. Please stay safe all. |

Weinermr | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:14 pm     Abby, You're not cluttering! Your updates are great! I keep looking for any and all information and you've really been supplying great information. And it's really appreciated. War, to answer your question from earlier, Weinermrs is home, and she is doing fine. We're keeping an eye on things, and are hopeful we won't have to go anywhere. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:15 pm     Thanks Weinermr. How close is your home to Stevenson Ranch? |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Has anyone heard from Cjr? I am worried about her! (thanks everyone ) Weinermr...I hope everything stays safe your way! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Abby, I live in Stevenson Ranch. What have you heard? |
Mware | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Good thoughts and hopes going out to all the Californians affected by these fires. Many thanks to those who are keeping us updated, as we worry about those in harm's way. Be safe, all! |
Whoami | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:23 pm     <slaps Abby> Hey, I said NOBODY clutters this thread with posts! OK? All posts are welcome! Stay safe everyone. Now I want to know if Abby heard something about Stevenson Ranch. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:23 pm     I'm so glad to see Moonie back posting and hope that all goes well with Kim and Pops.. Weinermr, I wish you weren't out there driving in that area, take care and be safe! ZMom.. I hope your Aunt's do better after their move. It must be so hard for them, and for you not being able to help. Glad Sis is doing ok Who.. Babyruth, glad your Mom arrived safe and sound. I hope the airlines were extra special to her and her needs. How scary to be there alone and need that extra help. Yankee, I too have been here checking this thread often.. Last night I was here for hours, watching for updates. Even though I have never met any of you I feel this closeness. Please continue to stay safe everyone.. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:24 pm     Well, they just showed the area on the news. There are many fire engines/firefighters parked there. No danger yet...but there is concern (depending on the wind) about it moving that way. At least there were lots of firefighters around there ready to go. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:25 pm     Weinermr.....anything I hear or see about Stevenson Ranch...I will post right away. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:25 pm     OH Dear! Prayers to the Weiners! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:26 pm     Thank you so much Abby. I have been concerned about the area all day. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:33 pm     Weinermr: I think you have to drive very close to my area on your way to and from work. You know, if Weinermrs and you had to leave the area OR just get stranded with traffic.....just stop by my house. I'll supply dinner for you and Weinermrs, if she happens to be with you. I can even arrange a nice place right around here for you to stay. I am e-mailing you my phone number right now. Please don't take this to mean I think your home is in danger....but if traffic gets bad OR ANYTHING...just stop by. Honestly. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Thank you for keeping us updated. Please continue to post if you can. Keeping my prayers going!! |
Slothkitten | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:38 pm     Constant thoughts and prayers for everyone to stay safe and this nightmare to end. Sending more prayers.. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:38 pm     Moonie!! Info that might help Pops.. If someone cannot evacuate due to no vehicle or not being able to drive.. call Marta at 909/878-5200.. it is some kind of bus service and they will help get people out. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:39 pm     Weinermr!! They just issued a voluntary evacuation for the "area around Stevenson Ranch", they stressed it is slow moving so just to at least prepare to leave I tried your cell but it says not in service.. Holding both of you close in my thoughts.. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 01:40 pm     Just heard from Stevenson Ranch. They said the news is encouraging right now. The wind is moving how the firefighters want it to. They said they just want to keep you updated JUST IN CASE, as the wind can change. (I heard this on NBC just one minute ago). But for now they are reporting all safe in the area and it looks good. (p.s. sent you my ph. number via e-mail). |
