Eep. I just saw another report on it tonight. Kel! I'm so worried for you... please keep us updated? They were in Malibu last night and talking about celebs and all I could say was, "I don't care about them! Kel is my celebrity!"


Really, I'm praying for you.

I am doing just fine and the fires are not heading my way. Yay.

Hmm...some family friends (the father is paralyzed by Lou Gherig's disease) have lost their home, and I am hearing that several other friends have lost their homes as well :(

This is really making me nervous for you guys. I was just watching the news and they said it's up to 1 Million people evacuated now.

Really, do be careful. We just couldn't do without any of you guys.

Yay!

They lifted off the evacuation for my area. So I'm at my home right now listenin' to music and chillin' on the computer. There's almost no smoke, the air is crisp, and I think the fire is disappearing. A LOT of homes have been destroyed though, that's the scary thing. And my bags are packed and ready to go next to my bed. So if the 911 call comes...

Isn't reverse 911 like the coolest thing?

:D

Glad everyone seems to be okay.

I've got friends who stayed to try and save their homes in San Pasqual. Scary thought. And my brother is still up in Ramona.

I am so glad the fog and that cold front is coming in off the coast, it will flush out all the bad air, hopefully help contain the fires.

I haven't heard from Imp; she's in LA, right?

They're showing it on the news every day here, too. When I saw it for the first time yesterday (I dont watch the news that often) my first thought was "I hope everyone from YWS is OK!"

I can't say I'm praying for you since I'm an atheist, but my thoughts are with you guys. Stay safe out there, m'kay?

Imps good! *celebrates* She posted on her blog.


*sigh* I don't know what I would do without my California crew. >< (unintentional rhyming, by the way.)

And glad to hear Imp is doing well!
