From Momma Bluebird who is staying in a Red Cross Evacuation Shelter somewhere in San Diego.
"It's not bad, kind of like a slumber party with 1200 other people."
At least she can see the humor in the chaos. She's still at the shelter she made it to on Sunday night. The National Guard came in to drop off cots for everyone and in the process split the gym into a family side and a senior citizen side (from news reports this shelter has a significant number of seniors). She said that made it a lot nicer without toys and kids all over the place. She reports that the school is clean, and they have plenty of good food to eat. She is spending most of her time in the shade of a tree with Kitty in her kennel, knitting. Knowing her, she'll be starting a knitting group her shortly.
Her house, according to the Former Fire Chief Neighbor, is still standing along with the others on the street....as long as the wind doesn't change direction and the fire roars back on its tracks.
To all my readers who's sent their prayers and support - you guys are the best. Thanks so much!!! And if you feel so inclined, drop a donation to the Red Cross as they do a fantastic job in situations like this!

I haven't heard from my friends in Santa Clarita yet. These fires--horrible.
I'm glad Momma Bluebird is OK.
So glad to hear she's okay. My sister lives over in Carlsbad and hasn't had to evacuate yet, but they told her to be ready.
