Debbie and I are fine, and still in our home in Lawson Valley. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic than earlier this morning – the winds have largely died down, and we hear fixed-wing tankers overhead moving toward the north flank of the Harris Fire that threatens us. Also we have finished our packing and are ready to leave, if need be, with about 15 minutes notice.
I'll be resuming my updates very shortly. But first, I have to say that we have been overwhelmed by the good wishes and offers of help from both our friends and people who are complete strangers and just happened to read my blog. If we have to leave, we must have 50 possible places to go! And that's not even mentioning all the offers of assistance with trucks, places for our animals, etc. Thank you, one and all – it's very heartwarming and comforting to know that help is available if we need it.
One last note: many people have written to thank me for “my” cameras on Lyons Peak. You all should know that those are not my cameras – they belong to HPWREN, which you can read all about at the link at the top of my camera page. All I did was to arrange the feeds on a single page, and to overlay them with place name markers…the HPWREN folks deserve the credit for providing the San Diego community with this great resource.
