Thanks guys...genuinely! And [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] that's super kind of you to offer.

It looks like the two fires are unchanged from yesterday, which I think is good news. Probably early to call it, but it seems like we're pretty safe where we are.

Secondly, while the subject matter is grim, great pictures!! You really captured it well.

I did actually go through the house and take photos of everything (including watches)...for insurance in case we would need to file a claim. Also took photos of vital documents and sent them over to family outside of Colorado.

On the topic of grim footage, this video of a family escaping the fire is pretty terrifying....

Horrible. Reminds me of the videos out of Paradise last year. It's apocalyptic. Glad your safe for the time being. If you need anything we're here for you.

The fire is now 17% contained (up from 15% yesterday), but it's still growing due to winds.

Looks like we're closer to the fire than I realized...~6.5mi

Hoping for some snow late this weekend.

A quick update- the CalWood fire is now 66% contained at 10,073 acres. We're getting snow tonight which should help even more.

With everything else going on in 2020, this view returning to "normal" is a much needed, welcome sight.
