Personal update:

Good News. I just got back from a trip up to my place. All is as well as expected. No Power. No communication , except for 2 sat-phones.
Fire got about 12 miles north. Then winds changed. Wind is now at dead stop, moving to come lightly from the west tonight.
Nobody on Ore. 20, east bound. No one at junction of 20 & 22 to stop me. Even with 22 totally closed. Drove without incident.
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.
