Oh, sorry - I posted some kind of live update which must be down now. Latest news is a neighborhood meeting tonight to discuss evacuation plans with officials. I've never hoped for rain so hard in my life!

Wishing you days of slow, steady drizzle.

Yikes!
Fires have gotten progressively worse in last several years.
I was going to ask if your area has a fire ecosystem, but a moot point by now.

Thinking about you and praying for rain . Hugs.

Thinking of you and willing it to rain.

Sending hopeful, soggy thoughts. Please keep us posted. Here's my favourite rain-related song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCnjRWOd5kk

Something worked, because it RAINED TODAY! And is supposed to rain again tomorrow.

The safety meeting reassured us that we are unlikely to be reached by the fire now, and I learned more about how fires work in mountainous forest terrain than I ever thought possible.

Thank you all for bringing down the rain!

Wonderful news! So glad.

That really is wonderful! Hoping the rains continues! Please update us tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

I'm so relieved for you Una. Please let us know once the danger is over for sure.

Late to this thread- so please the threat has abated.

I am late to this thread but si relieved to know that it rained and you guys have no danger of fire. Two months ago my bro and his wife were trapped in a. Shelter for two days on site near oil and gas refinery in fort McMurray Canada. And they had to leave in a emergency with few clothes and just wallets. Thank god their house is safe but it was a horrible horrible fire, so many houses/buildins/buildings were lost and people had to leave the city for one month.
Amazingly all 80k residents were evacuated safely. But it was nightmarish experience for them and for us too

I am SO SO glad mother nature listened and liked all the prayers and rain dances.

Late to this but so grateful you got rain!

So relieved you're safe and sound. Those fires are so scary.

Oh thank goodness!

Great news! So pleased that you are safe and its raining.

Ah the collective power of YLF-- glad the immediate danger seems to have past. Thanks for updating us.

Also late to this, but so happy it all turned out well.

Oh this tread was like reading or riding a roller coaster. I'm glad all is safe. Reminded me to have the essentials packed and ready. I pray for continued safety.

I'd been wondering how you were getting on. I'm so glad that the rain has eased the situation and that you are safe.

I'll do a rain dance for you any time as long as the music is good, Una. Hope all is well with you and your family as I write. Huge hugs to you!!

I didn't see this until now. So scary!! I'm so relieved that you all are okay, as well as your home!
