Well, we are breathing a bit easier this evening. Around noon today my brother in law was allowed to be escorted in to see what was left. Thankfully his home and my parents home next door were still good. The neighbors on either side we not so lucky–burned to the ground–we feel awful for them. No power or water. We are going to see if we can get my motor home down there to park for them to stay in so they can remain at the ranch and protect things till some normality returns. The horses survived in the barn (all 11). Things are still pretty bad in area (Rancho Bernardo) and in the other areas of San Diego where the fires are. The fires in the San Bernardino Mountains have come up over the top of the ridge of mtns and we can see them from our back yard making their way down to this side. We are a good distance away but some parts of san bernardino are being evacuated. Thanks for all your positive thoughts and prayers. There are a lot of personal disasters out there playing out every moment this week. Very scary.
