my fire update: Re: Sharon...how are the fires today? I am so worried about you guys!

[Guest guest]

Oh Akiba, thank you for asking. It's really bad! The fire is now 389,000 acres burned. Can you believe that? Horrible, destructive fire. Yesterday afternoon they evacuated part of Eagar. That is in addition to all the other evacuations that already have happened. There are pre-evacuations ordered for Springerville, the rest of Eagar and for Luna New Mexico. I am taking information from all the people who are offering shelter for evacuees and their animals. It's so wonderful to see how many people are coming forward! A friend of mine took in 8 alpacas, cats, dogs, turkeys and chickens. She is overrun:) I have been on the phone with the Red Cross to coordinate these efforts. Now I am also getting donations

of animal food to the people who need it for sheltered animals. Check this one out! I have also heard from a woman who is evacuated from Nutrioso Arizona. Her situation is unique. She was hosting a family reunion starting on the 14th. She hasn't seen her children and grandchildren in a long while. She said she especially needed to be with them now after all that has happened. I have made arrangements for them all to go to a cabin in the pines in an area far away from the fire! So I'm doing everything from making lists, finding shelter, getting animal feed donations--to acting as a travel agent! lololMy family and I are all fine. The smoke is mostly gone from here. We have a good friend in the Phoenix are who checks on us several times a day. He has a huge truck and trailer and he is ready to come move us out, he says:)
