Fire purrs update
Here's an update on the fire situation.
The Old fire has burned way across the mountains, is out of control, and has destroyed homes. I just finished evacuating my mom over to my brother's place - the fire was at that time about 1/2 mile from her house. My son evacuated his mom to her mom's place, and helped them get the RV loaded - the fire was about 100 yards from his mom's mom's place. The fire is now about 1/2 mile from my brother's house, so we're watching carefully. It's about a mile from us. We're getting the kitties packed up now along with our essentials. You know, there's a whole world of difference between watching a big fire on TV and having to evacuate a family member whose house is directly imperiled. Dan |

Dan The Allons TN furkids are sending firefighter purrs that the fires don't get any closer to you. Take care and don't let the fire get too close before you evacuate. We don't want to lose any of you. Nan |

Lucy and I are sending purrs to everyone involved......We would love
to send some rain, too, but haven't been able to conjur up anything but wind and, heaven knows, y'all don't need any more of that!! Be careful, ok?

Dan Yes, I'm sure it must be a huge difference. Purrs for the safety of everyone - and their homes. I'm about 15 miles or so from a fire in Ventura County. It isn't close enough to be visible, much less a danger, but before the sun went down, 3/4 of the sky was filled with smoke, and the sun was blood red. I'm sitting in my house with doors and windows closed and the air conditioner on, and I can still smell smoke. That still is nothing like being evacuated, or having family members evacuated. Joy |

I understand that, even though I haven't experienced it on the scale of yourself and others. Encouraging purrs and rain thoughts and wishes for your area. Let's hope the fires are under control soon.
