We are in San Diego and the fires came within 8 miles of our house.

The only place we can go is West, and within three miles we are in

the ocean!So I was trying to figure out a way to hook up our boat to

my VW bug! I just kept trying to imagine how I was going to fit 2

BIG dogs,2 kids, 's vest,nebulizer,meds,pictures etc... into my

car!One never really thinks about a disaster and if you had ten

minutes to leave your house, what would you grab? My husband left

to go fishing at the Colorado River and he left his car at his

friends house. I talked to his wife today and she said she had been

evacuated and had no idea if our car was still there. He ( hubby)

was due home tonight, but all of the freeways are closed and he is

stuck in a hotel. " Only an act of God would keep me away from you "

is what he told me on the phone( all together now....awwwwww)!

So I will not be sleeping tonight for fear of this thing rearing its

ugly head up over the ridge!!

DEAR KRISTEN,

I am so sorry . I don't know what else to say, I am sure your doing all you

can. But, yes, do get all the things that are necessary into your car. use

a cooler & put whatever meds your using in it . Keep a daily needs in house

with you. Even if you had to go to a motel further away , you'll need them.

Also some clothes changes. I am sure you can get much in ahead of time. It

will be a pain to take back in ...if fire stops -I pray for that to happen ,

of course. BUT , BE prepared somewhat. ------ You wont be sorry you did. I

wish I had years ago when the hurricane DONNA hit us in FL., we hadn't been

hit in 50 years in central Fl like that , so I wasn't thinking it would. It

did....BUT, I took my 4 kids, one only 7mo old baby & 19 month old (YES 11

mo apart ) boys 3 & 4 yrs. ) out on a national guard pontoon boat..... We

lost house -all in it & my station wagon. My husband was overseas aboard a

ship .. YES, Do get prepared . Better to UNPREPARE, then go that way.

It isn't easy , but I do hold you in all the special strong thoughts I can

gather & have many also doing the same------for all of those out there, who

haven't mentioned it . Bless you!!

LOVE & HUGS, GrandmoMBEV
