Well, I got an email from Wendy Lau (many of you have heard her speak at Founders Day & Division Conference events), she is the CKA for Theta Upsilon. So far good news that everyone and their families are okay although they are all really nervous still.

I also got an email from Tara, A K Phi Sig, and she's okay so far as well.

Beth, you are so lucky that you were even able to get back from Vegas. You probably just made it in time before they closed the freeways coming in from Vegas. I'm glad you made it through safely.

So far the news is now saying there are 10 major fires burning in the So Cal area. Ventura, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties are all ablaze. None of the fires are even close to being contained. There are fire engine companies coming in from all over the West and we're still going to be shorthanded with fire personnel. It almost seems that the fire trucks are just jumping from area to area just to try to save houses and don't have a chance to actually try to stop the fire.

As Beth said, now we almost have to pray it doesn't rain for quite a while. They need to get these areas reseeded asap otherwise in December through March you're going to be hearing on the news about massive landslides and floods in these areas next.

Well, I'm off to get ready for work. Let's hope that my building is really a closed ventillation system or it's not going to be a fun day today.
