Although the Walbridge fire near Guerneville is still only about 25% contained, many of the people who had been evacuated in the area have been allowed to return home. We were never actually threatened, nor given an evacuation warning, much less told to evacuate, but we were staged by the front door, ready to pack up and leave if needed.
Thanks to those who were worried and let us know, sent good thoughts, prayed. Prayers are still needed (and good thoughts) for the firefighters who are still fighting not only this fire but others around the state.
Of course we all still have to worry about the Covid pandemic...which is still going strong in my county and many other places in the U.S. and around the world, unfortunately.
Stay safe and healthy!
We've had two blissfully clear days. The smoke is back today, but since the heat had died down, it's not nearly so bad. It felt a little claustrophobic there for a bit when the heat wave was really bad. If 20/20 were a novel I feel certain my editor would suggest they go back to revisions, because there are too many implausible events in the storyline...
