Well I thank you all, but really...I'm just a guy who felt compelled to help my friends and neighbors during this time. They couldn't get in and I could given my position. I say again, over the past week, many people had no idea of what they would return to as information was not being...

Thank you all once again. They opened the roads today, so the evacuees began streaming in. I went on a FB group that has been focusing on the fire and, since I could get into the evacuated fire zones as I work for a utility, I offered the same invitation to my neighbors as I did to our brother...

Thanks all. As of about one hour ago, all evac orders and road closures for our county have been lifted. Our brothers and sisters next door still have a way to go. I believe they won't lift the road closures until power is restored as miles and miles of transmission power lines have burned down...

*waits patiently for @Seamaiden 's tongue to heal* ;) :D Thank you all for your kind words. Today I went back in to the fire zones and I posted on a FB group dedicated to the fire that I can get in and if anyone needed any info on their place to let me know and I would do my best to report back...

I used a jigsaw.

Dear God...5 years of drought, bone dry conditions, 100 degree temps, 6 days of a wildfire barely contained...And now.... RAIN After seeing what I saw today, the stress has been almost unbearable as I go into these fire zones to ensure connectivity to my community...and rain. *relief*

No worries my friend. Your garden looks wilted, but not lost. I was limited to how much time I could spend, but I did manage to get all your plants watered for the moment. @Seamaiden and I will call you shortly for more direction. I can get in where most cannot as I have equipment that has been...

And lets hope you don't get hit by the fire in Nevada County, because if it reaches you there, it would mean that our home was overrun on it's way to you. We're not out of the woods yet and probably won't be for at least a few more days. The neighborhoods to the south of us that got evac'd 2...

I've got some of my crew going into evac'd areas today to refill generators that are keeping the communities online. They'll be reporting back to me later and as I get any updates, if y'all would like, I can post it here. As of right now though, the county to the south of us, where Loran et al...

We did not get evac orders last night, but we're still not in the clear. Woke up to heavy smoke but PG&E has staged a whole mess of flatbed gennies in town and tied them into the grid for power to the area. As I type this, Sea is on the phone with Loran.

For the first time since this started, I've been given permission by the Highway Patrol to enter one of the burning areas so that we can keep Internet connectivity going to the community. Internet is vital during these times as we're a very rural/isolated area and people look to the Internet for...

Well, Happy Birthday. :)

Yeah, I love raw oysters, clams, other shellfish...just don't dig on mussels.

As a manager for a telco/ISP provider, we too have been visited by the "Men in Black" shortly after CALEA and PATRIOT to inform us that we will comply....or else. And I'm not kidding.

Gotta admire the little guys determination, yeah?

Nobody gets outta here without playing the blues...*grin*

Heh...Their biceps are about the same diameter as my wrists...*giggle*

Kevin, the guitarist for Aldo was a friend of mine. He passed away a few years ago. :(
