So glad to see some checking in and others sending support. We've had rain and fog and I so wish we could ""tell"" it to head your way. Be safe everyone!

Sending good thoughts to Gato and anyone else threatened by the fires. Hope they are able to contain them soon!!

I know of some homeowners who are leaving their homes because they cannot breathe well. That's in the Carlsbad area in north San Diego County. There are fires all around them.

I too am hoping that all stay safe where the fires are.

All of California is a tender box.

I fear that this is going to be a really bad fire season.

Currently evacuated. We need crossed fingers, positive thoughts and prayers.

I'm keeping positive thoughts for you and everyone within the fire zone. I was in the same position last year with our fires. Getting that mandatory evac call was like a nightmare. Hope you come out on the other side in good shape.

I just hope that when told to evacuate, people actually do evacuate.

I can understand the fear of looters, or, not wanting to leave your animals behind. I would not want to leave my animals behind either. I guess it would be difficult to evacuate large animals such as horses and cattle, and other farm animals. But since I only have two cats, I would make sure that I would have their carriers ready to go at a moments notice.

It's stupid to stay, then to expect the brave firefighters to risk their lives to get you out, when you finally do decide to leave.

By then, it could be too late.
