I have a very dear friend who was camping in Richardson when her 2 year old forced them home (still not too far away...in the Gardnerville area) with her two-year molars peaking through and a fever. I was so glad to hear they were ok!
Some friends they were camping with were out on a bike ride and got stuck on the outside of the fire (not sure of the logistical details) ...they had to bunk down in a shelter with their bikes till they were taken back to their truck...
All in my circle of friends are OK but my heart goes out to those who have lost! But it is good to hear no lives have been taken!!!
wishing wet and smokeless thoughts to you Tahoe friends....

I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

Just an update:
They got it up to 44% contained yesterday even with a setback when the fire took off in a different direction.
Still (Yay!) no one hurt although 2 firefighters had to deploy their "shake and bakes".
Unfortunately, the winds are supposed to pick up today - 20 mph sustained and 35-50mph gusts.
Keep your fingers crossed for the firefighters and all of the folks who live down there.
The community support has really been HUGE. Even Reno is having a big clothing/food/money drive. A bunch of people from work have chipped in and I'm going down to Costco tomorrow to get a bunch of socks, underwear, etc. to donate.
