We are still staying safe, though with the newest fire just outside Santa Rosa, we are back in the smoke once again--another reminder to always stay ready. I hope you and yours are far, far away from any fire dangers.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-76367790796918289042020-09-29T14:39:06.502-07:002020-09-29T14:39:06.502-07:00I hope you all are staying safe, Jacqi!

I hope we never have to grab that Go Bag and go, but it's certainly better to be safe than sorry - hopefully our descendants will appreciate the effort!Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524095661121443472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-21730468046846938912020-08-23T21:27:31.181-07:002020-08-23T21:27:31.181-07:00Thanks for including the link, Linda.

The one that got closest to our house was in the water channel behind the house across the street, burning the weeds that had grown in it. I participated in Randy's SNGF.

You and I both know people who have already been evacuated--or possibly even those who have already lost their home.<br /><br />I know Randy set the parameters at 15 minutes to decide, but this is an exercise to do in reality now, for a possibility which can happen in the next few days. Thanks for taking up Randy's challenge and writing about it! It's a plan I hope we never have to put into action, but it's so important to be prepared.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-83265485514683654462020-08-22T20:09:55.453-07:002020-08-22T20:09:55.453-07:00This is a timely post and something my husband and...This is a timely post and something my husband and I spoke about last night. Most things can be replaced (no not--many of us have too much stuff), but our lives are more important! I answered Randy's challenge: https://mytrailsintothepast.blogspot.com/2020/08/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-your.html. It's a start.Lisa S.

I had noticed your posts about Santa Cruz. One of our genealogical society members has a son in Santa Cruz area, as well, who arrived here earlier this week. This is a most difficult time.<br /><br />Yes, please do use that topic for your Saturday Night Genealogy Fun tonight. With fires threatening on the West Coast and hurricanes building up in the South, I'm curious to see what people suggest. It's a sobering consideration, but at least something that, done ahead of time, will make it more possible to preserve what's most important--though, in the bigger picture, personal safety always comes first. I just can't erase from mind the videos from the Paradise and Santa Rosa Fires and how some people barely made it out, through the flames, with their lives...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-90221596727334949112020-08-22T12:08:11.499-07:002020-08-22T12:08:11.499-07:00Thank you, Miss Merry!

While the fires are, for the most part, in wilderness areas in the coastal mountains and hills stretching toward the Central Valley, the edges are breaking out into populated areas, such as Santa Cruz (for the same fire reaching inland to us) and Fairfield and Vacaville (for an entirely different complex of fires). End result is a widespread impact felt throughout northern California.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11849515590474008702020-08-22T11:21:05.884-07:002020-08-22T11:21:05.884-07:00Prayers for you and your family and friends in dan...Prayers for you and your family and friends in danger. My daughter arrives from Santa Cruz today with two boys, 3 cats and a fish, and a van filled with stuff. <br /><br />I have used your blog post as a prompt for Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - hope you don't mind. Maybe my readers will have ideas for all of us.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-60515692326613464922020-08-22T07:33:23.534-07:002020-08-22T07:33:23.534-07:00PrayersPrayersMiss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685013550969211343noreply@blogger.com
