Hi,
Just came down the hill. Picked up my dad finally. He was willing to leave.
Like a bomb scene going up the hill. Little fires burning everywhere. Trees and branches down all over the road. Many power lines down. The shells if homes smoldering. Burned out vehicles. Broken telephone poles. Soda Canyon Store was still there in spite of the rumors.
Most of the homes on the left side going up are gone until you get to Barbara's. Which Is still standing.
On the right it's a little sketchy, some of the houses are there, some not. The place with the sheep on the right side, is gone. Dead sheep out in the field. Horses in a field looking for help.
Now I'm going to write what I saw about our homes … And I'm just going to say it and I know that some of you will feel relief and others not.
Cindy's home is standing doesn't seem to be damaged. Her guest house is gone as well as is the pump house. Tree fallen in the driveway.
Draselle's house is gone. I'm so sorry Draselle. I'm so so sorry. Eds is gone also.
The side of the road where the Ozmens house is appears to be completely gone. The Disney barn is gone. But you cannot see up the driveway… So I don't know if the homes were spared but that whole side of the hill burned.
Going up the hill, the Hallet house appears to be there but I couldn't really tell, there's a lot of smoke around.
Glenn's house is still there and there is a lot of little grass still burning around the house. The house across the street from his is gone.
And then going up toward our homes... our valley is clean and pristine like nothing happened. No smoke no smell. But the firemen said the fire appears to be headed in our direction. We aren't safe yet.
Chris and Carrie Frasett seem to be dug in and staying.
I took photos but still can't send anything. No photos will do the damage justice. All cell towers down so no cell except in limited areas.
Sorry for such a sobering report... but I wanted to tell you what I saw. And I'm so deeply sorry for everyone who lost homes, animals and property.
It's not over yet.
Blessing to all...
Shelle
