There have been periods of ash falling like snow. It's pretty surreal.

That's awful. Have you seen any relief agencies in the area yet? All these people are going to need some help.

Yes there's been a FEMA emergency declared and several resource centers including free childcare centers.
There are currently nearly 2,000 firefighters in the area from across the country and even Australia. I think Red Cross has had a couple million dollars donated. The people who lost their homes are the clear priority. We're hoping some lost wage assistance becomes available as well but I'm sure that's further down the line. Last I heard there have been no known deaths or significant injuries which is pretty miraculous.

Sorry you lost your cat. They become family and it's always hard to see them go. Good News on your evacuation status.

A consolation is that she went peacefully in her sleep but it's still rough. Been through a lot with that cat.

Sorry to hear about your Cat, Critter.
Amazing, how such a small creature can become such a big part of our inner world. Hoping the rains help everyone in the area. - Mary |

We just said goodbye to our kitty a few weeks ago and it's so hard. We're lucky to have them.
