Re: Scheduling: Fires in Southern California
I was only 12 years old and don't remember it. Must not have interferred much in our way of life in the 'burbs since I have no recollection of it as well. Also think that 47 years between memorable hurricanes do not place us in danger of annual hurricane catastrophies.

Re: Scheduling: Fires in Southern California
Hi All,
We did have to evacuate this past Tuesday morning at 3:00 A.M. The fire was three miles from our house.
We tooK:
My husband's immigration papers (which is kept in a brief case all the time)
Important documents for our house, etc...
Rx medications
All photoalbums
Our passports
Cell phone & chargers
Few clothes, shoes & pajamas, toothbrush, tooth paste, Hair brush.
Before our evacuation was mandatory we were on stand by evacuation so we had more time to pack up.

OK....you should all just move to Toronto....you may get snowed in from time to time = no work/school 
(but if you make the best of it, it's not such a bad thing 
) but the snow will eventually melt....or they'll just send in the military to dig you out

Re: Scheduling: Fires in Southern California
OT -- I was in the US Army during the Sylmar Earthquake. And it was cold and snowing where I was stationed. My father sent me a cartoon by the late Interlandi showing two people sitting in their living room covered by blankets, the radiator steaming and a blizzard outside -- the caption was "Earthquakes and fires. Why would anyone live in Southern California!?"

For the record, my thoughts and prayers are with those in SoCal having to endure the tragedies!!
