$65 billion?  Wow.  That's like 4 houses in the bay area!

 

On a serious note, we've been dealing with tons of smoke in Contra Costa county, too.  Some clients up in Solano county are in dangerous territory, and a few friends acquaintances have lost homes.  Thankfully no one I know personally has lost more.

 

Our company is working to help the local communities recover, but hopefully the fires will get under control sooner than later.

I've got 2 suitcases packed, briefcase with laptop, hard-drive back up, dog's bed and food, all of our "meds", artwork and family photos. Both cars are ready to roll. The south portion of the Tubbs fire is being "backfired" as I write this and we are keeping a wary-eye on the progression. Winds are supposed to whip up this evening. Worried about embers blowing in from the fire. Watered down everything outside. I've got 15 friends who have already lost their homes. One buddy got out by the hair of his chinny-chin-chin. Brutally devastating. It even jumped the 6 lane hwy 101 from the "high fire hazard" area over to an older subdivision called "Coffee Park" and wiped it out!

I've heard about it... but have not been personally affected. Dealing with friends and relatives in Houston and Florida was more than enough for me this year. I can related to those who are worried about their friends and relatives in California.
