I just wanted to thank everyone who has expressed concern for Joe and I and our homes and community. As of right now our homes are still safe. We are not out of the woods yet, however. The fires are still burning strong and I’m being told that there is one still within a couple miles of my house and a completely separate one within miles of Joe’s house. Luckily, I’m hearing the wind is going the opposite direction and no new evacuations have been ordered.
Last night my girlfriend received a notice that she was to evacuate. She actually lives near Joe. About an hour later, the evacuation notice was reversed and I headed over there and snapped some pictures from her vantage point.
If you don’t mind, in a couple of days, I would like to post all of the pictures that I’ve snapped throughout this whole ordeal. Would anybody be interested in seeing them? I know it’s not really personal finance related but it’s what’s happening in our life right now and it’s been the only thing on everyone’s minds in our community.
Side Note: My girlfriend is an insurance agent. I guarantee I can give you some personal finance advice from that perspective.

I’d like to see the pictures. I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but it’s like seeing a car crash - hard not to want to see disaster-in-the-making sometimes. The fires are awesome in a destructive, terrible way.
