I have been following your plight and flight. I am sorry for all that you have lost, but be thankful that you made it out safely. I have always enjoyed your posts and will miss them.

We have to embrace and give thanks for what we have during these storms in life. Find joy and fullfillment in the simpler life for now, doing puzzles, reading, playing games, and listening to the radio. It is your time to take a big breath.

Prayers for you and all that have been effected by this terrible, terrible tragedy.

Be safe and well, @On It .

Fear not Brothers and Sisters! I have read THE BOOK..........we win!!!

@Kachina624 Unfortunately the area where I think you stayed was Cedar Creek. As far as I can tell, everything burned. There is a bit of National forest left at the front of the area, but everything behind that and to the north is gone. It is too dangerous at this point for the public to enter or even be allowed to check their homes. Recovery workers are having to leave the area throughout the day at different times because of rains and flooding threats. It will be Monday before the county assessor can go in there to record properties that were destroyed. This is Lincoln County, not Ruidoso. It falls under county jurisdiction and not the village.

The burned areas are crime scenes since the fire was arson. Search dogs are going through each property to locate human remains. Thus far, they have found no one. All of the missing individuals on the list have been located. Hopefully, there will not be any others who perished. The two who were found at the beginning are the only casualties to date.

At this point the village has lost 495 homes. Lincoln County has lost approximately 1000 structures. The news media does not grasp there are two separate numbers being reported. They are often confused about the number and the total destruction of the fire. The total destruction lies somewhere around 1400-1500 structures. An exact number is simply not possible to determine yet.

@On It - Wishing you the very best in the days ahead-- and no flooding risk to worry about. Take care.

@On It

I cannot even imagine going through all that you have gone through and I know others have as well and some who lost their lives, worse yet. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and look over you and make your return as safe as possible as well as carefree as it could even be, albeit it sounds as though it will be a treacherous time for a while.
