Some good news, if we can call it that. The Atlas fire is 27% contained and the Tubbs Fire is 25% contained. That's the good news. The bad is 32 are confirmed dead, still missing over 300. Cadaver dogs are now going through the area to locate other bodies.

Everyone is signed up for Nixle? They will notify you of evacuations and when you can return. It is a government service that works through text.

I signed up for the counties red alert system, but that will only help if my phones & internet are still working a number of people up here were on ATT for cell & landlines & the tower went down, leaving them with no communication, which is why the emergency workers still go door to door.

It's just heartbreaking that the confirmed death toll is now up to 36 people, including a 14 year old in Mendocino County.

Our family has brought my husband's aunt and uncle down to Southern California to stay for a while. They were just having such a hard time dealing with not just their own loss, but also so many other losses all around them.

Wow, someone downloaded satellite images of Santa Rosa taken yesterday. The images show the devastation there. The white areas of what looks like trash on both sides of the 101 are homes that burned. Unbelievable.
