Keni, Are You OK?

IIRC correctly you're in Willits, CA...where I lived in Redwood Valley is apparently being overrun with the fires, and I wanted to check and see if you're okay. Seems part of Potter Valley has been destroyed already. I still have friends there but apparently cell phone service is messed up.

This is all happening in the counties just 30 minutes North of me. I didn't realize Keni was a neighbor.

Keni probably isn't home, or if he is has no power. Either way, checking in with the forum is probably not a priority.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Well, his absence speaks volumes, doesn't it...I guess my memory of where he lives was unfortunately correct.

I trust that he is well, but hope to hear confirmation of that. There are so many acres involved, it's astonishing.

Keni and I have gotten together a couple time before, so I know him personally.
I just texted Keni on both phone numbers I had for him. I find that texting sometimes works better than calls in remote areas. AFAIK he's in Willits area. But no longer owns a home in Redwood Valley.
 
I have piano work scheduled in Ft. Bragg this weekend. But have put it on hold to make the decision to go until later today. GF's house is under advisory evacuation and if fire heads more her way, I'm staying to help.
 
I live in Rohnert Park, near Santa Rosa. No big threat in this area. My old house in Glen Ellen is gone...

Thanks Craig... Thanks Everybody!

Yup... having a hot time in the house ol' town tonight!

I lost my house to foreclosure a little more than a year ago and have been drifting somewhat homeless since.

I'm currently staying in Wiilits courtesy of another friend barely 1-2 miles from the front lines of the fire, but it seems the fire is circumventing the valley (old lake bed) which is Willits.

We got phones/wifi/gas restored yesterday, so if they gave us gas, im thinking they feel it safe?

Life goes on. Many friends evacuated and some losing homes. Some Others returning home later today.

Fire only 10% contained so anything is possible...

Idiot i am? I just finished my new album and all i can think about is the 11/23/2017 release date. Some final paperwork and manufacturing is all that remains! This will be my 10th solo album and it's called Heart Of The Matter... of I'll post listening links asap...

Have main DAW, favorite guitar/amp and clothes/blankets ready for 30 minute evac if necessary.

My many thanks to all of you for your concerns and care..

Here's looking to great new mysic from us all!

Lot's of Love!

Good to know you're safe too. My landlord lost a home in a trailer park in Santa Rosa... and other friends have been evacuated.... Still trying to get in touch with some...

Glad to hear you're okay!! 1-2 miles from the front lines seems like it's cutting it close, but I think having gas probably means the powers that be think you'll be spared.
 
I'm wondering if my old place on Black Bart Trail West is still around...so far based on the maps, it looks like it's holding its own.

Not certain... I'm not great about names of the areas around here as I'm somewhat of a cave dweller, but I do recall something regarding Black Bart as a current boundary...?
 
I'm thinking positive too... I have commented many times that I doubt they'd go through turning it on/off repeatedly so tbey must be fairly certain it's not headed this way...
 
... but things can always change fast!

Good to hear your safe. 
I finally rained here a little bit, It hadn't rained more than a few drops since June 15th. 
I live in the bush above a main highway... Cigarette butts make me very nervous when it gets that dry. 
Most of our summer was spent in bad smoke from fires in Washington and occasional from the ones up north. We were lucky and I say it's only luck that keeps us from harm. Everyone had their grab bag ready to go. I copied all my Sonar files to a portable drive I leave at work. It's a hospital so I feel it would not be a likely thing to burn down.

Whoa. I was reading horror stories this morning - this is a pretty epic disaster, and many lives as well as homes have been lost. I'm glad Keni and the various forum-dwellers in the area who have touched base are safe and I hope you stay safe! And that this somehow winds itself down soon. My brother just moved back to Canada from the Watsonville area, they used to live in Corralitos, not sure how close that is to ground zero (I guess there are several?) - the whole area is/was so beautiful, hard to think of so much devastation there.

After watching some FB videos of folks going back to see their homes or rather if anything was left, I'm glad to hear Keni is fine. The number and scope of these fires is astonishing.
