[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 213085, member: 3444"] The chicks and the cats are all exhausted. So are the kids. Everybody slept late today, and if it weren't for my insurance agent finally returning my call at 9am I would have still been sleeping :) It took us most of the afternoon Sunday to get all the junk unloaded from our two cars and then go retrieve our third car (my junker) from the parkinglot down the hill. Then we spent today trying to get it all sorted an put away. It's amazing what the kids thought was important to take with them. husband got a little carried away as well. The fire department was very nice today and brought four or five trucks up to help hose off driveways and garage doors and sidewalks to try to remove that slippery pink phoscheck retardant. That stuff is very stubborn and a lot did not come off. I have a damage restoration guy coming out in the morning to give me an estimate on cleaning my exterior (which was just painted last Wednesday). I suppose that if he can't get it all off the stucco, etc., we'll have to paint again. I was pleasantly surprised to learn our hotel bill, meals, mileage and incidentals from the evacuation are covered by insurance, and so a check is on the way for that. We were very, very fortunate. Many homes 8 miles east of me were lost. I think the number was somewhere around 60 or 70. And these were HUGE homes. No water pressure up in the hills because of a known problem caused by decisions made by the developer AND the city. I think I smell a lawsuit coming... Here's a shot husband took with his phone looking down our street just shortly before we were evacuated. The flames are about 2 to 3 miles away and the winds are gusting: [/QUOTE]
