Stay safe but go if you must and only think about items that you can never replace

Hi everyone-thanks for your prayers and good wishes-DS and DH just got back home-they went to a friend of my son's house up on the hill and were watching the planes and helicopters dropping fire retardant on the fire-and got it under control! I am so glad our fire department is so on the ball and we have such good arial support here. I think the previous devistating fires really taught them a few lessons. We also have the benefit of Miramar Marine base and Camp Pendelton in San Diego and when they see any smoke they report it immediately. Our local airport here in Ramona also has a spotter plane that springs into action. Anyway, NOW I am going to make an emergency list in case it happens again! Thanks everyone!! (sorry I panicked!)

No apology necessary. I would have panicked myself. Glad it all turned out OK. Earthquakes, hurricanes, extreme heat, drought, floods, fires - what next?

So glad to hear you and yours are safe! Man, I would have been so terrified, I would have forgotten where I put my list if I even had one!!!
