Those of us up in the northern part of the state are okay... the red flag
warning goes to an area about 30 miles south of San Jose (Silicon Valley).
But this is the time of year when we've had our worst fires, too.

Oh, you're out there! Ouch...

After the Cerro Grande fire up in Los Alamos some years ago, I bought 
soft-sided cat carriers for my fellows and made them as attractive as 
possible in hopes they'd sleep in them. I keep them on waist-high bookcases 
one near each dor. That way in case we have to evacuate, packing them up 
will be a lot easier.

Best of luck and may you and yours escape the fire.

Thanks, it is almost exactly the anniversary of the
2003 Cedar Fire.

We've taken the younger two plus pets to grandma. 

Watching closely.  Avoiding falling ash. Horrible air
quality. But wind
directions seem to favor us.  A very bad santa ana is
being opposed by an offshore push right over us. 
What drama!

Forced to prepare, though.  Small but real chance of
total evacuation. Jim Burns paintings & Hugos and kid
mementos and
photos... what a lot of stuff you notice when you have
to...
