Here we are in blatant violation of the mandatory evacuation order issued at 2:30 a.m. First came the loud sirens and then came the automated phone call from the Sheriff's Department. "Your home is under mandatory evacuation. Please leave as soon as possible." It was quite a wake up call. We left for an hour and decided to come home for the time being. The fire is burning on the ridge over from us but seems stalled for the time being. It is an incredible sight. Here are some pictures. Needless to say, the pictures don't do the fire justice. It is truly a frightening scene. We'll keep you all posted and yes, we will eventually leave.
