Because I can’t even wrap my brain around how bad the fires are right now and my BFF is trying to convince me to evacuate before everyone else decides to.

Marilyn, how is your friend in Los Gatos with the fires going on?

Hi Maria. Thanks for asking. They're across the reservoir near downtown
Los Gatos, so the fire didn't affect them. However, with COVID restrictions, they're seriously considering moving back to Pittsburgh where they still own a family home. Sandy never did well with allergies in our home town, but I'm thinking the air can't be all that great out there either right now.
Two days ago she wrote that it was 107 degrees on their patio. That is Phoenix-level craziness.

That was a bad heatwave. Better now. Fires worse though
Evacuations and/or fire go from just above the reservoir all the way to the ocean. Currently 80 mi.² including thousands year old redwoods. Not enough firemen/equipment to even try to save homes. The fire East of us in the San Jose foothills is currently 260 mi.² The “Napa” Fire is currently 350 mi.² Some of them being separate fires, but also go to the ocean, all of these fires are out of control. So we are mostly surrounded by fire. It wouldn’t hurt for her to have a go bag ready. Thinking good thoughts for her.
