One of our friends lost everything last night in the Atlas fire by Napa.

[Adsos Letter]

Lots of fires burning in Napa, Lake, and Sonoma counties. High winds last night gusted to 60+mph. At least some of the fires started by blown down power lines.

Thoughts and prayers as always, but now off to use my truck to assist in some of the evacuations.

Stay safe out there.

1. You stay safe too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That is horrible, my dear Adsos Letter.

Please be careful!

3. This is terrible. Meanwhile, because of President Chaos, it's getting very little coverage.

He is so unfit to deal with everything that's going on, it's ridiculous. I feel for all the people being affected by these fires, and I know some of them, too (though no one who's lost everything, so sorry about your friend).

4. Know from your badge what you'll do.

Stay safe. YOU stay safe. Crap, friends are there, and I can't reach them, or you, from here. Wish I could. Be SAFE.

5. Oh My God

I live in Marin and was awakened at 2:00 by the smell of smoke

Called 911 to report it and found out what was going on.

Thank God the wind died down

I'm so terribly sorry

[BuddhaGirl]

6. So sorry!

It's awful - my mother and brother live in Rohnert Park and are ok, although some areas close to them have been evacuated. The smoke is bad, I can't open any windows here in Point Richmond.

Be safe!

[Solly Mack]

7. Let us know how it goes, please! YOU stay safe!

You're a good soul.

8. The wind was really intense late last night

It was a calm day then late at night iit started really whipping up into fierce winds.

9. Tragedy for such an historic region. We were just out there last spring and it seemed so

dry then. Hoping you can stay safe even as you plunge into harms way. Thanks for helping others.

10. Sorry to hear.

There are big fires in so Cal., too.
One in Anaheim Hills, they are saying is suspicious because a fire started in nearly the exact same spot a couple weeks ago.
Sick people.

11. As someone who lost just about everything in a fire, my heart goes out

to your friend.

It's a horrible, awful experience. Your friend should not be surprised if the smell of smoke triggers intense
emotional distress for years to come.

I wish them luck dealing with their insurance company and mortgage holder.

And please be safe as you go to help.

I was lucky. My house will be OK but it will days before I can go back. Will probably be without power for a week.
My sympathies to those who lost homes.

13. If the fire(s) are 0% contained...

where, exactly, are they burning? I'm at my job in Petaluma and not in the calmest state of mind.
