I did not know you were going through this but am so glad that you let us know that you and your family are safe. I have been so saddened to see the devastation but also so very many people are missing. It's just unreal. I share your sentiments about HE that shall remain nameless as Zazzles says. Even though your house was spared the trauma of living through it and now returning for you and your family must be very difficult. Prayers to you all as you move forward. ((((()))))

Adding my thanks for your safety. Close to 40 years ago we were posted in SF and in the Bay Area. Can’t imagine what it’s like with the fires.

I heard they had to close some Bay Area schools due to unsafe air conditions from the Camp Fire.
Our air conditions in Southern California are fortunately returning to normal slowly anyway. But from what I'm hearing and reading it's much worse up in Northern California.
To help get through this I am thoroughly enjoying reading tweets with the hilarious hashtag #rakeamericagreatagain and #raking. Check it out if you want a good laugh!

finreporter, air quality was reasonable today in Silicon Valley, but it has been horrific for over a week. I've been mostly homebound and having to use an N95 face mask when I go out.

Glad you and the girls (and the cat) are safe, Fin!
My friend's mom, sister, and bro-in-law lived in Paradise (mom in a nursing home). They're OK. Their world as they knew it is gone, right down to the last memento.
Yup. Raking. I suppose adjusting the wind speeds down to "light breeze" would help, too.

Some rain we never get would be helpful too but it's apparently all boiled down to raking. Self-described genius after all! Take care of the floors, people!

I've been mostly homebound and having to use an N95 face mask when I go out. Sorry to hear about the air quality where you are, Mike. I hope it clears soon for you.

finreporter , So good to hear that you and your girls and cat are safe. Sad to hear about all the devastation and the losses people are suffering. I imagine rake sales are going to go through the roof. Does anyone know if The Rake Master owns stock in rakes? finreporter
