Well, we're fine but a lot of other people weren't so lucky... many aren't being allowed in to their areas yet to even know if their houses were burned or not. The fire agencies are setting up for another good wind tonight. The fire burned for 17 miles from Jones Valley (near Shasta Lake) down to (nearly) the Sacramento River in a 3-mile wide swath. As you may or may not know, last month Shasta County had a fire in Happy Valley that destroyed 37 homes, and the Red Cross is still struggling to regain its footing. With 100+ homes destroyed in yesterday's fire (which is still burning), donations of cash would be much appreciated. The American Red Cross can be reached at 1-800-HELP-NOW, and designations to the "Shasta County Fire Relief" will go directly to the Shasta County Chapter. http://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/SHU_8604/main/index.htm is the URL for update information. Map #3 under "incident maps" is the best of what is offered. Thanks, and I hope this isn't too inappropriate for these lists.
