Kitty evacuation

It's been a rough day all around. As you may know, we live in the San Diego area. As a result of all the fires in the area we were told to evacuate this morning. We packed up all of our most important things, rounded up Tulip kitty and headed out. Since all the area shelters are probably full, we opted to come to my office. It's smoky, but now and then we see a bit of blue sky. This area seems to be safe, at least for now. Some other co-workers who were forced to evacuate are here with their motorhomes and campers. At least we're not alone.

Eve, kitty and I are hanging out in my office. Tulip is resting in her carrier at the moment. She has been in and out of there a few times today. Earlier she curled up in her bed and slept. She's nervous but doing fairly well. She's a sweet angel, and I'm glad that she's able to remain relatively calm.

We have no idea how our house is. At least we're all safe. One way or the other, things will be okay. We're in for a long night of watching out the window and waiting. I'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Thanks, Deb. So far we're okay. However, it sounds like the evacs are moving in our direction. We're considering leaving where we are while we still can. The closest place they are suggesting we go is Qualcomm Stadium. That's a long way from here. We're not too excited about that idea. Not sure what to do at this point...
