so its not bad enough my car was rear endad in june
they called it totaled this week
this week, as I packed my most beloved things, left SO much behind


when they expanded the orders today, it was on the line at my best friend's house, less than a mile from me...

we dropped the hammer, (ironically got some stimulus on my tax visa so yay...dont know of it was fed or ca)
( had to borrow my mom's car cuz the insurance wouldnt do a rental any longer)
so in 15 mins we had the teen, dog and cat and last minute stuff in the car...now we're in a holiday Inn in minden

cant go to the elderly parents, not enough room and pet issues....but at least they are in gardnerville...right here


IDK how long we're gonna be here...thank god the cat finally came out from under the bed. poor babies...

I just wanna go home...I want a home to go back to.

2. What a nightmare.

I'm glad you are safe, and I hope your home will be too.

[Old Crank]

3. Glad you got out safely

and you got out relatively early.
This is a bad situation. Hoping for the best for you.

Hope others take stock and get out of there early. I have real worries about
large numbers trying to evacuate out of Tahoe with those narrow roads.

4. K&R

5. California is doing another round of stimulus

If it was $500 or $600, that's what that was. I read something about it the other day. The direct deposits are supposed to start going out this week, I believe.

Best of luck to you in all this.

6. Update and kick

We were at a place in Minden last night... the desk night shift said we could extend our stay in the morning

The morning bitch said they booked the room out from under us and kicked us out
Spent the day driving in circles around Carson city as the hotels filled up and nobody took pets

I posted in the locals FB page asking for ideas or link

Found a place in Tahoe city for a few days....now the winds come and we wait

I can see directly across the lake from our balcony

They also gave us a discount and no pet charge
Finally got a shower and get to pass out
Body hurts
Heart too
My eyes are swollen from crying

Godspeed Tahoe 🥰🙏😭

7. My mom and sister lost their home in NoCal to the North Complex fire almost a year ago now.

They lost everything but their pets, a car and themselves. The fire was bearing down on them that fast when they ran. They had no fire insurance. The devastation of such a loss is massive.

My heart is with you tonight. I hope your home survives and you can return to it again. ❤️

8. Ironically our family lost a beloved property in guerneville Last year too

My dad bought the ranch in 77...
Strangely... the insurance from that paid off my house in Tahoe...

And now we wait 🥺😭

9. update... red flag warning, watching the pyrocumulus from across the lake

filing for aid thru El Dorado County

...did Biden declare it an Emergency yet? I know the gov did...

was awake @ 5 am, checking the satelitte and crying looking at pice of my yard & deck... I miss my bed, my critters (the birds & chippers), I even miss the dirty dishes!
