we are still safe, but eek - I make one lousy post about preparing for disaster - and talk a tiny bit about how it's important to be prepared... then fires erupt all around us... (this is the view looking from our house across the street; fires are only a few miles from us in the hills you can't see because of the smoke) We are keeping safe and remain prepared (I was a cub scout for exactly one day) - if anything else happens near us I'll let you know :)
Glad you are prepared. My mom and her husband have their cars packed up. Right now they are on voluntary evacuation. I hope the winds stay down and give the firefighters a chance to get control of these fires. Keeping everyone in my thoughts.
Oh dear, you must be near another of my bloggy friends. I will be thinking of all of you. Stay safe! (oh and another idea for your car emergency kit is a blanket)
