fire heading for Santa Rosa (again)

Just got off the phone with my stepmom, who lives very close to the evacuation zone. 

She hadn’t heard about the Shady Fire.

two fires, now with names

The Walbridge is due east of us, eleven miles away.

The Meyer is southwest of us, about nine miles away.

Wind favorable for us. Pressing fires south. One area in danger is the fantastic Armstrong Woods, an old growth redwood forest outside of Guerneville.

The region is strapped for resources because there are so many lightning strike fires burning right now. It’s overwhelming.

My little community is making important plans and most of the crew right now is on the land, guided by the extraordinary 85-year-old Tibetan lama who built this place. He’s been working day after day with a team of people half his age and younger, through the heat and thunderstorms. They are felling and limbing dangerous trees, clearing brush, doing everything they can to prepare the land.

Fam, send kind thoughts, not so much to us, but to this lightning-struck region.

This post-apocalyptic realness tho.

But on a serious note...

I had to leave town this week because of how bad it all is. I’m leaving town for Thanksgiving as well. I have asthma so it’s esp risky for me right now.

My coworker’s home town was destroyed by the fires. Many others have lost their homes. It’s dire.

Here’s how to help survivors of the NorCal wildfires that atm has a death toll of 63, with 631 people still missing.
