I live in Santa Rosa - I'm outside of the mandatory evacuation zones so far, but packed and ready to go.
So far everybody I know is safe, though many of them lost their homes or are unsure if their home is still standing.
I'm pretty sure that I'm safe, but keeping a nervous eye on the news and the car packed and the dogs in their harnesses anyway.
I never, ever imagined I'd be seeing a wildfire come through the neighborhoods in this city. I'm still in a state of shock. It happened so fast.
Major kudos to the many fire departments fighting these fires, though. There is a truly frightening number of fires going on in this state and they're doing an amazing job at getting people to safety, sometimes while their own home burns. These men and women are real heroes.
