{{{HUGS}}} Bobbie, no news is good news....

Thanks for your continued updates weinermr - and special thanks to weinermrs too!! {{{hugs}}} to the extended family, let them know there are people all over (here) reaching out, sending positive vibes, prayers that the aftermath we will see good, knowing once again man has a hand in this devastation, and human kindness is helping us thru... +prayers+

Moon, Cowboy, son, and extended family members, its hard over here on this computer screen to see all the work, and love you are putting forth in this effort, thank you for your time to come here and make it real for me, and the students I'm teaching today!!

Thanks Zmom, I printed that info, got out the map, and we talked. Its hard to imagine here in the midwest what a Santa Ana wind is, but I hope I'm doing an adequate job. The one reporter told us one reason the fire can jump is that it carries embers the size of softballs across with the wind gusting up to 100 miles an hour!!

continued prayers....

For those of you who aren't at home, FYI: KFI radio [I turned it on to listen to Mr. Limbaugh--duh--and he wasn't on] has suspended its regular programmin all day so it can cover the fires. If you can listen to a live streaming audio in your offices and you want to stay informed, here is the link to the station and you can click on "Listen Live" on the toolbar to the left.

What is the report of the arsonist that supposedly set this thing in motion? I remember there was a hunter that supposedley set a "signal fire" 'cause he was "lost", and he's been attributed to some of the fires... what else is being said?

Back ... the 118 was shut down again at Tapanga so I can't get to the other rescue station so I thought I would just check in again.

I checked my v/m messages and got a sweet message from Abby(left yesterday I think)... thank you

The air is still really bad here so I may wait a while to go back out.

I was just out and there are fire trucks and firemen on every corner. They are amazing!

Today is my first day to "see" this thread. My heart goes out to all of you in the path of these fires. I can't imagine being threatened for the prolonged period of time you have been. Tornadoes come and go, very fast, within a matter of hours but this just keeps threatening. It has to gut wrenching.

ALL of you stay safe.

It's so nice to see you here Moonie. I've been praying for you, your animals and everyone in the line of fire. I'm so far away, I can only guess how terrible it is.

I am keeping you in my thoughts. Stay safe.

Coming back in here to give my support and respect to all of you involved in this sad and scary event. The firefighters and those that support them through hard times like these are awe inspiring.

Keep safe eveyone and post when you can!

Just checking in real quick here at home to read the updates. Moonie, I'm so glad you, Cowboy and son, and the critters are safe. Weinermr, I'm so awfully sorry to hear about your sister's partner's mom's house. How awful! :( I'm glad your neighborhood is still safe and that you can check in and keep everyone updated. (((Weinermr)))

I'm sending out strong positive vibes to Eggie's friend, Chris, and to Bobbie's nephew, to Kittee's relatives, and to Sun, Zmom, Cjr, and everyone else who is in the area or has posted a concern for a loved one.

As for my Mom, she finally arrived in Detroit after several looooong delays and a side trip to San Francisco. My brother was able to meet her yesterday when she finally arrived in LA, and they arrived here a little while ago, exhausted and glad to be here. I'll check back here later today when I come home again, to read further updates on everyone. You're all in my thoughts.
((((((((TVCHers))))))))))

So glad about your Mom, MissyRuth

Just got off the phone with Weinermr... one of the sweetest souls in the world!

I have been reading some of this thread and I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. I am crying how sweet everyone is here and lucky we are.

Moonie, glad to see you on the board this morning. Hope you were able to get some rest last night.

Weiner, I'm sorry about your sister's partner's mom's house. How is Weinermrs holding up with all the smoke?

Zmom, how are your aunts doing?

BR, glad to hear your mom made it there ok.

All of you being affected by the fires continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you to everyone who is giving updates too. I haven't been able to turn on the news since Kota's still home and I don't want her to see the fires on the news, so you guys are my only source of updates right now.

I check in here often and I just don't know what to say except that I am praying for all of you, and all those people effected by the fire. My heart just breaks for those who have suffered losses in this tragedy.

Moonie, what a dear heart you are to help so many with their critters. I did much the same during the last two summers here, and it's often difficult and heartbreaking work. Bless your loving heart.

I'll just keep praying that the cooler weather continues and things get better soon.

I'm still trying to find out about the Pine Vally/Descanso area all the way up through Cuyamaca Rancho S.P. and to Julian...are there fires going there? I looked at the map Moondance posted the link to, but I'm not sure exactly how far east that is- it looks like it may be close to the edge if not in the fire zone.

Glad everyone is checking in and seems to be doing pretty well. Good luck to you all and get some rest when you can.

Kalli- The fire you are speaking of is the Paridise Fire. I am keeping a very close eye on it as I am many family members living in that area.

Thanks for going through the trouble- I appreciate it- I was looking ath the fire map posted, and looking where the highway dips south- looks like it is there. I found a webcam fr the area (http://www.robranch.com/Weather/wx.htm), but the picture (and weather report) hasn't been updated since Sunday afternoon.

When they had the fires in Arizona last year- my gramma was evacuated (the fire was about a mile away from her house, around the other side of the hill). My dad lives about 15 miles from there and called me, then just sat holding the phone so I could hear his TV for awhile.

Takes a minute to load but a very good map!

Thanks- I think the Cedar Fire was the one I was looking for... so Julian was evacuated. I have a really, really pretty hand made bowl with little frogs sitting on the ledge of it that I bought there in July for my mom to give her for Christmas. That's such a pretty area. Very sad.

Kalli- I am sorry, it might be the Cedar fire that you are trying to get info on. I am keeping an eye on all Fires in San Diego. My Aunt Dot is being affected for the Cedar fire so I'll report any info here.
