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.
So very sorry malice. Wishing the very best for you and the safety of your dad.
@malice so sorry about all this :( I can only hope you find some peace soon
@malice I'm so very sorry your father is missing. I pray he's ok. Things are very chaotic in disasters, I pray he is just caught up in a shelter and just not able to get phone to contact.
Stay strong and calm. *hugs
Does the red cross have shelters? They may not have lists but maybe they can provide guidance... if I see anything on Twitter that might help, I post to you. <3
@malice I know it sounds feeble at best, but we are sending you our love and support through the miles and time zones. Make a list and systematically contact every place you can, then start over again. It is still chaotic and you must be frantic with worry. I'm so sorry.
@malice oh no. I’m so sorry. I hope he’s ok.
@malice a lot of people displaced... way more than normal.
Don't lose hope.
@malice Oh, Malice - my heart is with you. Give it some time, I hope your father is found safe. *HUGS*
@malice That's scary - I'm sorry this is happening. :(
@malice I'm so sorry. I hope that you get some positive news soon.
@malice 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@malice 😨 it is fucked. I hope you hear good news soon 🙏
@malice I’m so sorry. You’re right, this is fucked. I hope for the best, and that you get some answers soon.
@malice *HUGS*
@malice I’m so sorry this is happening. I hope your father is safe and that you will hear from him soon.
@malice please keep us posted. Wish there were some other way to help aside from moral support.
@malice All our love and strength and support are for you. Your Dad is in our hearts and thoughts. Any thing we can do or say to help you now, let us know. Holding you in my heart.💕
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.
