So currently half my county and surrounding areas (including where my mom is up north) are on fire (again, because it's October in California and thus fire season). I discovered this upon landing back in the US on Monday to frantic texts and voicemails from my roommate and have not made it home yet due to road closures. I'm staying with friends in Sacramento with hopes of being able to get home in the next day or so.
My house is okay (just outside evac areas and fire is moving away), mom is fine--she was within an evac zone but didn't leave; but again, fire moving away and she ain't stupid. She has everything ready to go in case she does have to leave but at this point no reason to leave.
My roommate evacuated on Monday because of the smoke but no actual fire near us. She can go home whenever but her mom won't let her until I'm home whoops.
In short IT'S FINE EVERYTHING'S FINE we've ridden this pony before.
