Most of this is probably destroyed now–burnt to ash. It’s so sad knowing how many people are losing their houses, for some even their lives. My beautiful home is being destroyed. This is a nightmare.

Just an fyi if you are in the East bay...Northgate Christian Fellowship at 2201 Lake Herman Rd Benicia, California is a drop-off point for donations that will be distributed to the evacuation shelters in Solano, Napa, and Sonoma Counties.
They especially need Baby Supplies || Water || Pre-packaged and Ready Made Food || Toiletries || You can check their facebook page for current needs & driving directions.
Fire fire fire
HELLO FRIENDS
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.
“Oh, look at that wall of smoke,” I said to myself. “But wait. Zoom. Enhance. Yup, that is actual fire.”
From the overpass at Hwy12/Stony Point yesterday afternoon on my way home from work. It’s still a little disconcerting knowing how close that actually is. The smoke is worse near my house today so going outside is basically a no-go if I want to be able to breathe.
