She just texted and told me they have to evacuate. No time to evacuate the animals.

Attjack - yes. Thank you VERY much for your concern. I just posted photos of the fire from where I live in another thread. I really appreciate the concern and feel very bad for your sister.

Man that's tough to comprehend. I have a supervisor who just moved from that land of dryness and fires. His son still runs a logging company out there.

We live with rain, hurricanes and flooding down here. Not sure I could ever imagine getting burned out, what a helpless feeling. Our thoughts and prayers that they make it through safe Attjack.

Just got word it's looking worse. Calfire says they think it will hit their property. There are 85 acres I hope the animals make it and their structures aren't lost.
