My friend Blair had to evacuate her house, and she couldn’t get her kitty to get in the carrier.. she only had time to grab one outfit too. :( I’ve been watching on the news since I got home (school didn’t get cancelled.. but maybe tomorrow) her neighbourhood. The flames are right near her house! I don’t really think the fire is cool anymore. I’ve got a headache from the smoke, and I’m worried about all of my friends. The fire department told us to get our valuables all together and ready to go. They say that if it gets too close to the main city, they’ll use reverse 911 and ring everyones phone off the hook so that we know to get out. I hope we don’t have to do that. I’ve got lots of kitties and a dog, and it’d be hard to get them all rounded up. The winds are picking up, and they’re starting to do mandatory evacuations on Tapo Canyon. This is fairly close to where I live, so I could be next. :(

PS. I should probably call Blair and let her know that I have some clothes she can borrow until she’s allowed back to her house… if it’s even there anymore by the time they let her back.
