There’s no place like home!
YES!
Ok… yes! – the situation is still a bit dicey, no containment on the fire but there is a significant fireline and much in place for protection of South Fork, so residents were given an option to go home with the caveat that they were on pre-evacuation notice and should be ready to leave IMMEDIATELY if notified.
The weather looks somewhat better, the fire behavior has modified.
The Mineral County Miner ??? – it has been my go to news source. It is a Creede, CO paper but it has been the best at updating online. GO Creede!
My folks are going to stay in their home, not unpacking and in fact are getting some additional things loaded…just in case, but hopefully they will be able to stay and all will continue calming a bit.
Meanwhile, in my own home territory…
It did get to 84F today and we are forecast to continually get hotter through next mid-week.
BUT…One day at a time – today was warm-hot, but beautiful and it is Friday and we are all home!
