Fire in Santa Rosa .. and message from Mica

[edwin]

So glad to hear that you and your family are safe. I waved to you all as I passed on my way up to Rio Nido on Saturday. Sending all my thoughts and wishes for cool, wet weather your way. I wish I could send you some of Boulder's snow.

Well that's good to hear about the Mothership since I've been worried all day since learning of this mess this morning.I've got a couple of old band mates/friends living in Santa Rosa and I can't get ahold of either of them.I do hope everyone is safe.

It's great to hear everyone is okay. Play it smart and stay safe. Material possessions can always be replaced.

Stayed up all Sunday night watching one of the fires burn to within a mile or so of my house, thankfully it was stopped. I can do without any more of that kind of excitement. Had the Roguss and my upright in the car ready to go if we had to evacuate but by the time the order came the fire was clearly on the wane so we decided not to join the traffic jam unless the threat became more imminent. I feel very fortunate, have at least one friend whose house burned to the ground.

Glad to hear all at Alembic are safe.  I'm in San Rafael and we are getting fallout from the fires.  There is a lot of smoke in the air, ash everywhere.  A guitar player friend in Santa Rosa lost everything.

Thank goodness, Kent. Glad to hear you guys remained safe. So many have lost so much. A dear friend lost her house in Kenwood and barely got out of the danger.

Yesterday we took a couple of loads of pillow and blankets and other needed items to Elsie Allen High School that is set up as a Red Cross evac center and shelter. I'm going back this afternoon to see what other gaps there are in the wish list and try to fill them in.

We decided to try to be a little normal today and go back to work. I don't think the website is up, and we don't have email yet either. The Alembic Club is hosted in another state.

The Alembic Club is its own unique state!

I am so very very glad that all has been spared and you are all safe

Kent, Andrew, and Mica; I am sorry to hear that your friends lost so much.  The whole city of Santa Rosa must be feeling devastated.

Very sorry to hear of the loss by your friends and neighbors.  Is there a local relief group or shelter that people can donate to (funds, items, food, etc.)?  It’s been a crazy year for natural disasters.

Sending positive thought waves and vibrations to you all.  Be vigilant and stay safe.

Mica, glad you all are safe! My prayers go out to all who have had losses, and the safety of the firefighters fighting the fires!

[mica]

The fire continues. We have still remained fortunate. Today several people won't be at the shop as the high winds are expected to pick up again and mandatory evacuation orders keep rolling in. We did get email and internet restored a few hours ago, but I think the email went down again.
The loss of life and property is staggering here.

This disaster is so beyond words for me , I am so sad . I have a friend  named Rod who is a drummer that  I have played music with and done gigs on and off for over 30 years . Him and his Wife  Lisa live in the "Coffey Park" area of Santa Rosa . "Coffey Park "seems to be gone now and we have not heard from Rod and  Lisa in a while .  I am hoping that they are safe some where .
