Thanks BG. I’ll go through those links searching for one that works. I’ve seen some of those, but not all. How have you been?

Oprah has the gall to talk about this like she is in some danger. She lives nowhere near this fire

Oprah lives close enough to see the fire, but that's about it.

We lost TWO houses last night 1/4 mile apart on Conejo Road and pretty much everything but the clothes on our backs. Oprah didn't experience much of anything. I was looking for a missing cat (didn't find her) and the police had to physically force me into my car. The roar of the flames was so load I could barely hear the cop yelling at me.

Today I was interviewed on KNX radio and they asked how far I lived from Oprah. I was a little surprised. Who cares? the worst thing she experienced was when the electricity went off and the refrigerator light didn't work. Maybe a little ash in her pool.

Do I understand correctly this is again going on tonight? I had been preoccupied all day and assumed the fire was controlled, but I guess that was a terrible assumption.

That is a striking story. Not sure what to say. Do you have other relatives you can stay with?

Yes, tonight.. and no updates on Montecito that I’ve heard. I don’t know how things are up there, but Sylmar’s a mess tonight.

Interesting that the same LAFD twitterer is Melissa Kelley, who’s on every network. And telling people to shelter in place where possible, since they clog up the streets when they self-evac. Ummm...excuse me, whut?

“shelter in place.” WTF? Any FF worth his boots will tell every person to GTFO at the slightest hint of a safety issue. People aren’t trained to deal with this, and he is. Why is she going around saying this stuff?

I’m in Rancho Bernardo where much of what surrounds me was destroyed last October in the wildfires. One of my dear friends lives on the street Bush visited last year and is the only house standing among about a dozen at the cul-de-sac.

When they were allowed back in to see what was in tact from the smoke and soot and water damage, they found cats that were not their own along with their own cat. The fire crews could tell most of the other homes were losses and their place may be salvageable, so they collected any cats that were roaming or rescued in that area over the course of the few days of the fire and initial mopping up of hot spots, and had gotten in and left a lot of food and water for them, figuring that was the best they could do in the midst of the firefight. My friends left word with all the shelters, and on several community websites afterwards, and signs on the posts that were standing in neighborhoods, and it took awhile, but eventually they all were returned to their families; many families saying that was really the only thing besides the human family members that wound up saved from the fires.

I hope that somehow someone managed to relocate your cat to a safe place, as well.

You’re in my prayers as you begin this process of rebuilding!
