I haven't been forced to evacuate yet, and I'm hoping that I won't have to, but my best friend's mom and dad had to evacuate last night and haven't been able to get back to see if their home is still standing. 

Everything reeks of smoke (which, as a longtime smoker, really says something) and there's the constant sound of water-dropping planes and helicopters flying overhead.  In short, this is just a bit more stress than I usually enjoy during the course of a weekend.

I know that the Soviet of California doesn't get much love in these parts, but there are a lot of good people who have lost their homes in the last few days.  If you feel like donating to the Red Cross for disaster relief, you can do so here.
