Hello,
I am deeply touched by all your continued encouragement and prayerful support. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You all are so wonderful!
I spent the morning at the homes of a couple elderly folks up the road from us here. We are thankfully still out of any eminent danger, but they are still very unnerved, and I just hope what little I could do in hopes to offer comfort to them somehow helped to ease their minds and hearts. I'm home now for a bit of a break for rest myself.
Last report, the fire is still raging, only 20% contained. The strategy at this point is to bank around it's outer perimeters in hope to gain the containment ratio. Once they have it better contained, then they will resume to actually fighting it again to distinguish. In the mean time, YAYYYYY, the rain is "HOPEFULLY" on it's way! We've had spirradic sprinkles throughout the morning, but we NEED an actual downpour. Hopefully, the clouds will lower and open up for us soon. I'm almost afraid to ask for downpours anymore, LOL. Seems "feast or famine" with stuff like that,
but at the current moment, we do need it.
Well, I need to go grab a bite and hoping for a quick little "nap". My face is fighting me awful fierce today...hoping a nap will calm it at least some.
EDITED TO ADD: Also, last report, those who were evacuated are still being held at the shelter until they can gain better containment of the fire. Your contined prayerful support is deeply appreciated for them as well. {{{WARMESTHUGSTOYOUALL!!!}}}
