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.

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.

(9,073 posts)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.

(13,360 posts)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 🥰🙏😭
herding cats
(19,564 posts)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. ❤️

Strangely... the insurance from that paid off my house in Tahoe...
And now we wait 🥺😭
