Russ: I am not threatened at all. Lee is now living in Palm Springs and her
back door opens onto a golf course that is watered daily. She is totally
safe from this huge fire, but you can sure see a lot of smoke from her
house.
The house in Crestline where Lee used to live and where my youngest, Craig,
is now living part time is pretty safe. Pretty much all the trees near them
were taken down by the forest service.
Thanks for caring.

You guys sure have your hands full with this stuff this year...

Judy: I think that the present fire is not a threat to my son Craig's house
in Crestline. When I said "pretty safe" I meant that the threat is that
another fire might break out. This weather is conducive to quite a lot of
lightning. However, the area around Craig's place has lost almost all of
its trees. There is not a pine tree left standing within quite a few miles
of his place. The chances of a direct lightning strike on his house is
small but possible. There is a threat of floods since the ground cover in
the mountains is gone. However, when I bought that lot 40-45 years ago, I
selected it because is sits on a crest and there is no source of flood
water even in a very big rain. The street in front of my house might get
some mud in a huge rain, but my house is safe. The only danger I have is
that my neighbor to the north has several tall palms with heavy beards of
dead fronds 50-60 feet in the air. If sparks got into them I could be in
danger of a fire probably only in my garage. My insurance company has
assured me that if that happens they'll sue his pants off.

This whole season, fire, flood and mudslide out there, makes me worry about all our Californians...
