<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3146229, member: 44357&quot;]Good luck, Ken. I was a mile away from the meat of the Thomas Fire last year and that was one of the most terrifying experiences I&#039;ve been through. Happily all family/friends came out relatively unscathed but everyone in the area knew many people who lost their homes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frighteningly, we only noticed the fire late at night when we saw it come over a hill with large flames: power and cell/internet reception were all out so the emergency alerts didn&#039;t come. A couple hours later, someone banged on the door to alert us. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you perceive any risk, I would suggest just getting as far away as possible, even if a mandatory evac hasn&#039;t been issued. We had friends trying to douse their house in water but ultimately it isn&#039;t worth the risk to life to stay around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
