We were able to talk to Jose, Leonardo, john Hawkley, Dean Busqueart, Vern Blaziek today. All are okay and homes are okay at this time. No answer on Gary miller phone but john had been over to garys yesterday and he and his place were okay. They are all still in danger of fires around them and air quality is bad. We heard from russ pingrey and his house is okay which is really lucky! He said russ pugh is fine. That is the latest....we are so relieved to get go talk to them and get good reports! Please Keep them in your prayers....

We just talked to Gary. He is fine planning on heading to Uesugi Farms this weekend. He may have to drive through flames to get there!
