So far. the two I know of on DS are

girilie 4721 and suny

A hug was just sent to suny. I will now get girllie. Thank you dazed.

no problem jules...Girlie may not be online, but you can try. She left her home just in case. I will surely let her know you are thinking of her when I talk to her on the phone next time!

I have one too, I'm concerned as I spoke to a friend and they might have to evacuate today. It's sooo close to her home.

Thanks so much for this thread!!!

Aspire thank you for letting me know of your friend. A hug is on the way. I just think that these poor souls have enough to worry about with everyday life let alone having to leave their homes and their security. I cant do much but a hug may help them know they were thought of during this terrible time.

Jules, this is so sweet of you. I'm to lame brained to help as you are doing, I just sit here hoping and praying ppl's lives will be spared. We also had a horrible fire here in FL this past spring so you know I really do know how they feel.But you are a great support person.

I live in SO CA...but am up north right now....I know of so many people that are homelessnow...breaks my heart!!!!!

Dazed I am so sorry. It is hard to know the victims of tragedy such as this. Those that I cant hug I will pray for. So if you have some special people let me know. Are you in any danger of the fires spreading to you?.

my bf and I are up in frisco for work right now, so no fear up this way, but I did call our neighbors to make sure our house was ok. Thank God we are further inland so far!

thanks for the prayers for my friends. Poor Karla, andy, Sue and all the others that are either in danger or have lost their houes.

Man this is so bugging me...I can't even watch the news because I cry! The ash and smoke are so bad down where our house is that the health issues are getting worse everyday! Now I am in tears again

Jules...you have a BIG heart darlin' I am proud to call you a new friend

Donnabw son's and famiy didn't make it out in time for evacuation, she is having a really bad time, please send her some love. Can you blame her, her son, his wife, two grandchildern and one of which is barely a few weeks old.
