zeke Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Now is too close for us. Hop, skip, & jump away from our home. Not liking this at all. We're without power right now & the air is smoky. The wind was blowing east most of the day and just a hour ago shifted to south. Still stinky. Hopefully we'll be here tomorrow . Zeke.

zeke Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's nearly 6am on Thursday. I've only slept a few hours & my eyes are burning. CDF is cutting a dozer fire break through my land. Waiting for the choppers and airplanes to return. I'm not liking this one bit. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep us posted! Beth Just watched the news clip up there. Hope you don't have to evacuate and that you still have power!!! so sorry!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Keeping you in my prayers. Our air is pretty bad due to the fires down here and the gosh darn farmers and their almond orchards and alfalfa fields. I just want to yell at them that the air quality is poor enough give it a break! Just a small rant here. You be safe and keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Oh my godddddddddddd. Finally it's looking good for us. We have several fire breaks cut into our land by the CDF. These guys are the best. Haven't had much sleep, but I'm still going. Took my little New Holland out a while ago, but it hard to do the work of a big tractor when you've only have a keychain fob. Anyways, CDF said we're pretty much contained here. All your prayers worked. Thank you so much. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 It got about 100 yards from the house. I even took out my tractor in between CDF's dozers. They we're cutting a lot of fire breaks. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggienoella Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 So glad things are progressing in a good way. Hope that continues and the fire is out soon. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I just read that the fire is now at more than 100 square miles and is only 10% contained. There are 6,000+ structures threatened, the report didn't say if those are all houses. There are of course lots of people evacuated. I hope that Zeke and family are safe.
