All My neighbors are safe and sound. All needs being meet.
Delivered a second generator and several big cans of gas. Also 2nd sat-phone.
Generators now running well pump and 2 large community freezers. Neither have to run full time. Everyone is well stocked up for about 2 weeks. The kids are out supplying food and water for all the creatures fleeing fire.
Neighbors insisted I go back and stay in town, as I have another 6 day work week ahead.
More later:
@corlin your neighbors are still up there?
@Botanic
Yep.
Not near the fire. About halfway between Idanha, and the Santiam Junction.
Oh. Yes they were already to leave on Monday. But we have been through this before, 3 years ago. So No one is stupid enough to stay too long. They also know when it it time.
3 Years ago it got a lot closer, and yes we all left.
Oh.
My cats are not happy. I left a window open so they could come and go. I don't think they left the house. The kids came by twice a day to feed and play with them. But they would have none of that. They were glad to see me. But still pissed off. I will be gone another 6 days.
So I expect blood letting when I get back.
