I'm just surprised that Mattis didn't quit sooner.

@USAPatriot @Armchaircouch @Engineonfire I'm non-religious, but thank you.

@Armchaircouch @Engineonfire Yeah, it was me. Dad is okay, though it was so close that parts of his truck melted and he had to shave off his long hair because it was singed. My uncle is still in a medically induced coma, though.

I uploaded this in 2016 because it seemed prescient at the time. Today...phew, even more so.

We're living in a dystopian novel.

@AllisonKaye I dunno, the initial report was totally wrong. I'm still not sure what all actually happened. They initially said it was his estranged wife that he'd kicked out and she had severe injuries, but his wife said she wasn't even there. Since then, no new details.

I haven't found my dad yet, but I heard he made it. My uncle was overcome by smoke while escaping and had a heart attack. He is currently in the hospital awaiting transport to a bigger hospital. No updates on his condition, but hes alive, too.

@ucantstop_me Yeah the behavior on the right has crossed over from nazi asshole to National Enquirer

@missmesss75 Mueller referred the last one to the FBI. Avenatti isn't that measured, he will try and salt the earth.

@ucantstop_me No me either, not after watching his last "press event".

@missmesss75 I know!!! I was so mad because I have a mad crush on Avenatti, haha. But it does sound like something Wohl would do.

god I am baffled as fuck right now ahahahah

If Avenatti is legitimately innocent and Wohl paid off some lady to do this....holy shit Avenatti will tear Wohl to pieces.

At first I was like WHAT MICHAEL AVENATTI WAS ARRESTED FOR BEATING HIS EX-WIFE WTF

Then I was like wait his wife says she wasn't even there

Now I'm like OMG IS THIS SERIOUSLY A FAKEOUT BY JACOB WOHL?????

The plot thickens., I am withholding judgment for now cuz this is insane.

Death toll in the Camp Fire is up to 42; they're having to identify people via DNA because many of the bodies have been reduced to chips of burned bone.

No word on my father still.

@AlphaCentauri @EnochianEntropy He's never even had a cell phone, he's from the analog generation. He definitely remembers our numbers.

Waiting for a call back from a detective with the missing persons unit but they're so backlogged that they said it wouldn't be til tomorrow. They'll be able to sift through info from area hospitals and such much better though.

Press briefing at 6:30 increased the number of fatalities from 9 to 23, including 4 from my father's area found in cars.

Relatives of people still missing are going to be asked to provide DNA samples in the next few days.

This is fucked.

I got confirmation from the Butte County Sheriff that my father's property was completely torched. They found no sign of him, but I'm not sure how well they were able to search, either...the area is still hot. He's not listed on the Safe and Well site. There's no centralized contact for the tens of thousands of people in shelters, and most shelters seem to have no associated phone number at all. I don't even know what hospital they're taking people to anymore.

I'm at a loss, CoSo.

@stueytheround Weird comment.

That's the Camp Fire. That blue circle is where my dad lives.

It's within the former fire perimeter but it juuuuuuuuuust might have made it. Doesn't mean it actually did, or that it will exist 24 hours from now since the fire is not contained and the focus is on protecting Chico, but good grief this image illustrates the stress I'm feeling.

I made a report with the county sheriff earlier today but they have a lot on their plate. I don't expect to hear anything soon.

My father is one of those who lives in a rural area within the fire zone, and is currently unaccounted for.
