Almost in Harms Way.


The Station Fire has burned over 122,000 acres. Officials do not expect to have it contained until September 15. At this point they are guesstimating it is about 5% contained. Contained means that they will have cut a path and have the entire fire effectively surrounded. There is no estimate on when they hope to have the fire out.

Yellow Areas = Mandatory Evacuation
Red Area = Estimated Fire Perimeter

Pink Balloon = Marrieds House

The girl and her kitties are safe here with me. Her husband is back in LA working and will stay with friends should their house come under mandatory evacuation orders. The boy is at a defensive driving class for his EMT job today and wishing he was out fighting fire.

There are two fires less than 10 miles from my home but we are not in any danger from them. Those fires would have to do major tricks and the fire departments would have to have some epic FAIL in order to get anywhere near my house.

Thanks so much for your prayers and concern.
love and hugs,

And here I thought we left the desert to avoid the heat.

It is cool and misting here darling, no fires in sight.

I was explaining to the folks that while possible it is highly unlikely our house will be directly affected, hence it being the evacuation home for the marrieds.

Hey! have them start on the kennels then all the kitties can roam without annoying each other LOL

*muah*

"Our house is a very, very, very nice house with two cats in the yard..."
