Some sad news, the home that Justin was working at and helped the residents evacuate on Tues. burned down last night. I don't even know what to say, I was just there on Monday and got to meet the family, they were so happy to be getting their house remodeled, just purchased a new living room set to go with the new floors. Kim, you and your family are in our prayers. If anyone wants to donate anything to this family, we will gladly take it for them. They have a teenage daughter and dogs.

This was taken from the freeway, we live somewhere behind this palm in the front.

Taken at Milpas and Canon Perdido, this is our neighborhood. It looks bad but the fire is actually not on the immediate ridge behind us, but on the south facing ridge after that.

This was taken outside our house, looking north at our neighbors house.
Yet again we are a little too close for comfort, we have our living room full of bags and such just in case we have to leave. So far we're just on the cusp of the evacuation (again), and the day gives us false hope because it's the sundowner winds that happen after 4pm that are really hurting us. We didn't leave last night but we made Grandma leave just in case, she refused to leave her car here if she had to leave so I made her leave while it was still daylight.
