Racerx45 - Santa Rosa, CA
I’m safe, my home is safe for now. There are still active fires near my house that I am keeping an eye on. I have limited access to internet so I can’t post often but wanted to let those of you that know me that I am OK.
Here one of many videos of the devastation.

Please be safe! That video is horrific, hard to believe.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
It looks truly awful. I wish you and yours the best.
So scary! Please stay safe.

Keep us updated if you can!

I hope for the best for you. I can't imagine how terrifying this must be.
Keep safe - we had friends from Napa stay with us last night, and several of the families Caleb plays hockey against on the Santa Rosa team lost their homes.

Update - My neighborhood was down graded to a voluntary evacuation zone. That means that about 60% of the city limits are now under mandatory or voluntary evacuation. Last night we slept in our clothes so that we could flee at a moment's notice. We took turns with an hourly watch so the others might be able to sleep.
I reported a possible looter in the evening. That's something I really don't need to worry about, but I'm glad I did. During my 5am fire watch a police car notice me and lit me up with their spot light. That made me feel better knowing they are here watching over us.
The biggest concern last night where the winds returning, they never did. So that's quite a relief.

Man, best wishes to you and your family.
We had a mandatory evacuation in my neighborhood this morning. Left the house at 5 a.m. I'm safe in a neighboring town.

Sending goodmind & prayers.
Much goodmind to you. Glad you and your family are safe, and I hope your home remains safe as well.

When we evacuated for floods in stl several years ago. I had room for most of my king books. But not the wife. I miss her sometimes.
Wishing you the best.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

This summer was a particularly awful one in Western Canada for fires as well, though it is nothing compared to what is happening in California. Your video looks exceptionally horrific. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Stay safe,
Zidan
Glad things aren't too horrible! I saw some footage yesterday and was hoping to hear an update. Take care of yourself!
Hoping for the best, stay safe!!!

A quick update-
I am still evacuated from my home, but I know it and my neighborhood is safe.
Here is a video from the first night that shows a crew from Berkeley arriving to help fight the fires.

That is just heartbreaking. It's insane that the only green space left is the park. Glad you are ok and your house is safe.

It is hard to comprehend the devastation in these videos.
Glad to hear you and your home are okay! Any idea when you'll be able to go home?
