Sunday Morning
Containment.
Over night the fires were held in check by a combination of preparation, hard work by firefighters, a strong air assault and low overnight winds.
Smoke from backfires as seen from our front porch on Saturday.
The last time I heard any containment figures, the fires threatening Santa Rosa have 25 to 50% Containment. Its not over but we are in better shape than we were.
The weather forecast calls for low wind conditions and a chance of rain by Thursday. That’s still a long time for the fires to burn. I hope they beat them down before then.
Saturday:
Lorraine.
We went to the shelter to pick up Lorraine and take her to lunch.
When we arrived at the shelter Lorraine was waiting for us and was very excited.
“I can go home !” she cried excitedly, when we pulled up.
“Can you escort me home?”
She already had the cats in her car and we waited for her to follow us to her mobile home park.
When we got there, there were police at the entrance not allowing anyone to enter.
We had to turn around and head back to the shelter.
Disappointedly, Lorraine signed back in and we took the cat carriers to her area.
Apparently the information she had was not official or correct. What a let down.
We left the cats and went to our house for lunch.
Okay that’s about it.
We wait and watch and hope we don’t have to evacuate.
