Thank you for the concern and good wishes Tatia. I did have to evacuate early Monday afternoon. I think they were being very cautious and I didn’t feel particularly threatened at my location (though there was a difference of opinion on this subject in the house). We were allowed back home early Tuesday afternoon and are quite safe and doing well.
The situation is still pretty intense here in San Diego County and farther north too. There are still a staggering number of displaced people. I think the number is greater than half a million. I know a few families who are staying with relatives or in hotels and don’t know the status of their houses. So I feel pretty lucky. Thanks again for the kind thoughts.
