He lives in one of the 'voluntary evacuation zones' in Mendocino County though it looks like the fire won't be getting to him thanks to the windshift that's blow back into the burned area. <br /><br />The only thing of real note on a personal basis, beyond my brother and his family being threatened for a while, was the house I lived in as a teenager, back in the '70s burned down.

I live in Connecticut, and we have 1 of the 3 problems my friends in northern California seem to have: Trees that grow tremendously (enough to knock down above-ground power lines). Here in CT, we seldom have the 2 other problems you get - high/dry winds, and warm temps. In CT, we got hit with very high winds when Hurricane Sandy came near us (not much rain, though) in 2012, and many trees came down, taking power lines with them. We lost power in my area for a week. <br /><br />However, we do not get the dry weather often, as you do in NorCal. And the winds come only once in a great while. During times like these, what you folks have to handle is very difficult. I will say a prayer for all the people in harm's way.<br /><br />God Bless...kar120chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226062493955524666noreply@blogger.com
