I begin tonight’s OND with an article from my local paper. The reporters, editors, photographers and other employees are doing a great job with disseminating Sonoma County fire information. I won’t be able to update unless power is restored to my daughter’s house (my post evacuation sanctuary) but if you click the link to the article I chose, you can follow this nightmare that is called the Kincade fire.
At 2:31 PM today I got word that my town was downgraded from mandatory evacuation to evacuation warning. I had hoped never needing to write that sentence. No electricity until Thursday or Friday, though.
