My sister has a big cat rescue facility in the back yard. Only Billy Bob was here at the time.
 
I'm amazed that people don't all take this more seriously.

Wildfire makes menacing advance near Los Angeles

Five people who refused to evacuate threatened areas reported they were trapped at a ranch near Gold Creek, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. A sheriff's helicopter was unable to immediately reach them because of intense fire activity, Whitmore said, but would try after the flames passed.

"What this says is, 'Listen, listen, listen,'" Whitmore said. "Those people were told to get out two days ago, and now we are putting our people in danger to get them out."

Over the weekend, three people who refused to evacuate were badly burned when they were overrun by flames, including a couple who had sought refuge in a hot tub, authorities said.

Some of the people only had 5 minutes warning. They called us about 45 mins after the fire started and suggested we evacuate. We were already loading the trucks by then. About 30 mins later they called for mandatory evacuations. Fortunately the wind shifted and blew it away from us, but it was a very close thing.
 
Sounds like you are ok for now, that's great. Don't fool around posting if things change for the worse. Just get out and post us with a update later. :-)

Wishing and praying the best for you and your family.
 
Grab pictures of lost loved ones and irreplaceable things. You'd be surprised how easy it is to replace "valuables".
 
Holy crap... I'm glad your family and the critters are safe Ted. I've been hearing the reports on the radio all day. You are definitely added to the prayer list (moved to the top). Let's hope it won't flare up tonight.

Ah..yes. I remember Apache, the puma; another gorgeous cat. Didn't realize it was at your place.

Glad your fortunes turned out well.


Enjoy every sandwich
