there is a fire in my back yard.

  • have important docs but my passport is nowhere to be found...
  • have all the animal cages setup 3 big ones for the dogs and 4 small cages for the cats. 2 to a cage
  • bottled water, ice chest, the usual camping stuff.
  • extra cloth and clean underwear so if search and rescue finds me at least I'll have clean undies...
  • oh not to forget dog food kitty food and kitty litter and boxes
  • we both have n95 respirators with chemical filters. its bad out thare.
  • Air quality index currently at 271. (very unhealthy!!)
  • we are in level 1 evacuation notice

Well we are off the hook pretty easy compare to Harvey victims and Irma victims to come. I just hope my farm house and my house that I live in is still standing. My farm kitty has been moved to my house house. Poor guy, he is hiding in a closet.

Oh the fire in my back yard is the Eagle Creek fire in Columbia gorge. Fire line is about 7 miles from the house or just over 10km. Farm house is only 6.5 miles or so from the line. I hope the wind doesn't kick up like it did last night.
