thoughtful thread Ryan. Thanks. I was hicking the mountain looking for the fire when it found me. I left another crazy hicker going up on the trail after we talked we were both calm and amiable. He would of talked forever if I let him. I went down he went up. And when i got down the ske was red, brown and black with smoke. I rode my bike out of the forest to the front of my mountain burning down towards my neighborhood. Anyways, making a long story short the man going up probably died as the fire moved in fast with 55 mph winds. The city was a mess as we evacuated and many homes are burning. My home might be safe, but I do not know it is in a valley and the entire city is covered in smoke far from the mountains. I took off work as they practically pushed me to do it and am now waiting around with my gf and roomates not knowing if my house is burned or not.

Glad to hear you're okay, I can't lose my only friend on here. and I hope your house is in good shape.
