Thanks Adrian. What a disaster area! Never been in a wildfire situation but recall a tropical cyclone where we had to dig a small well to get clean water for one of the team to wash his contact lenses.

The place is like we just came home from work. AC & Gas is on. Still keeping a couple bags packed up next to the front door just in case.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, best wishes. It meant a lot.

MX Rocks!

Great News! Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad that mmikeinsantarosa is back in Santa Rosa. It's been a crazy year with the weather and the fires.

That's my old neighborhood... Coffee Park. We moved from there 13 yrs ago. Areas that weren't anywhere near forests got burned to the ground and pine & redwood forests just off the main path didn't get touched. My wife and I are so fortunate and grateful to have been skipped by the destructive path(s) of this thing. Many of our friends and co-workers lost everything.

good to be home

I remember the feeling when we had to evacuate during the Waldo Canyon fire a few years ago. And, there's no place like home. I'm glad all is good...

Only just read this. Glad nothing happened to you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, your family, friends and co-workers.

Just looked for a free/libre open source wildfire warning software for Linux-based systems, but I didn't find any (none for Android neither). Would be good to have devices warning everyone in time. Did you receive an SMS alert?

If there's anything I can do for you, please send me a PM!


Greetings, and take care, Joe

I think one of the problem is that mobile communication is one of the first to drop during fires, SMS won't work if there's no cell reception.

This may be wildly OT but there once was an effort to make a non-centralized peer-to-peer network that would be more robust in these situations. I don't know what came if it. I imagine it met stiff resistance from companies that profit from the centralization.
