Hopefully you're alright, however after talking with my aunt who's near the fire she's without power, and as such I guess you might be without power (and internet enough to read this).

But if anyone is in need of any sort of assistance feel free to chirp up.

Vincerama lives in San Bruno, but I think he's closer to El Camino / 101.
I hope he is OK!

Hope he's fine. My cousin's house was one of the first to go though. Thankfully she and her husband are safe.

I'm probably about 1.5 miles away... pretty sad... lost lives and so many people's houses. Everything where I'm at had power, but a friend who lives maybe half a mile away from the fire was without electricity for a while.

Well glad you're ok, I'm surprised more didn't go, I mean I grew up in San Bruno and I do know that area that went up, lots of trees (in particular the oily eucalyptus which aided in the Oakland Hills fire disaster a couple decades ago), houses are fairly close together (most of those houses were planned communities) not to mention all the hills/canyons in the area. Just lucky there are so many cities in such a small area so that all those cities could help respond with fire fighting assistance in a relatively short time (I think it was 6-alarm when I went to bed).

Mitch: Glad your cousin is ok, been watching the news and there's a ton of outpouring of help so they should be ok on the short term. I think long term they'll be fine too as PG&E most likely is going to be paying for a brand new house, although any sort of memories she in the house probably will be harder to replace.

This is so sad. 4 lives lost. Sad My wife's cousin got called in to work at Kaiser SSF last night. Last month I passed by this neighborhood on Sneath. As we drove by I said to my wife they have some nice houses over there and it looks like a nice place to live. Unfortunately the neighborhood is no longer there. Sad

Mike thanks for the thought. Didn't know PGE was going to be covering it (haven't been able to keep up on the news of it today). Big thing for her is the emotional part, she got married less than a year ago and moved in to there.

It really did look like a war zone there. I think a few Sunnyvale FD trucks headed up there.
