I figured I should post. (I should have posted about lots of things, but haven't. Someday I'll try to catch up, really...)
Before I go any farther, let me reassure anyone reading this that we are safe and the cats are fine!
Late Sunday August 16, a tremendous electrical storm moved through California. It was a dry storm, and set a huge number of wildfires. One of these was the CZU Complex fire, one of the several large fires that's been making national headlines. The southern part of the fire was/is not hugely far from our home in Scotts Valley, CA, and we elected to evacuate Wednesday August 19, about a day before evacuation orders were issued for our area. (The evacuation orders were primarily to get citizens out of the way so that the firefighters could move around and do their job. While it was initially feared that parts of Scotts Valley could burn, the consensus seems to be that it'll most likely be unharmed.)
We're living with P's family over in Portola Valley, which we're very grateful for. We don't know when we'll be allowed back, but I'll keep you posted.
