Many of us are concerned about our friends in So Cal in light of the dangerous, incredible fires illuminating the night sky. Though perhaps this belongs in the CRS forum, I think people across the country are concerned so I post it here.
I propose a roll call for those who may be in harm's way to see who's okay and whom we can help. The rally community is global in nature and we are always prepared to help our friends.
In particular, I think Matt L, Chris S, and maybe even Don S are threatened by the Old Fire and the Grand Prix Fire. You guys and your families okay?
On a lesser note some folks, including Pat, Denise and myself, were invited to spend another night in Portland because all flights into SoCal were canceled. The news reports read "delayed" but I think they were trying to keep people from panicking. I hope Pat and Denise made it back okay--they'd left a message saying they might be driving south--but I can at least report that my Burbank flight made it safely to ground this afternoon. The air is thick with smoke but we're not in any immediate danger. (Our nearest fire is the Simi Valley blaze, a few miles northeast of us.)
