So Cal friends, how are you holding up? Stay safe, and let’s get through this together! -CaliKim & CameraGuy
There are multiple videos on how to protect your house that are excellent on youtube. I have watches several. This is some of the info I remember. 1. take all combustible items out of your yard. Move pillows. umbrellas, anything that can catch on fire inside garage etc. Embers getting in the house is what causes the house to burn down. Put screens on outside vents to prevent enbers from entering the house or use metal duct tape to seal them off. Put the trash cans inside the garage. Too many great ideas to list. I made an evacuation list. I bought to go bags to put in every bedroom for easy access. I have moved items for easy access to move out if necessary. So many things to do to prepare. I have the same app for fires also. Hope you get a chance to view videos online. There are some excellent ones, with suggestions that I would of never thought of. Take Care. Let us know how you are doing.
Being under constant stress like that is exhausting! I am in NorCal, however there have been plenty of fires throughout the years that motivated us to prepare "Go Bags," and emergency rations. I am glad that you are still safe, and pray that everything will settle down for you real soon. Be strong, but also be ready.
hi guys, im glad im not alone. We are near the san bernardino mountains and since Jan 7th everytime i hear a gust of wind I am paranoid and start to pull out our most important and memorable items. this is no way to live and our state "leaders" have failed us. California is one of the highest paying taxes by residents and when we need aid we expect to get that help. So now we have to prepare ourselves knowing that our government may not come to our rescue as we expected. We have to formulate plans. I dont know about you Kim, but I cant sleep well during this time not knowing if what happened to Pacific Palisades and Altadena can happen elsewhere. Lahaina was a lesson to be learned from for all of us.
Glad to hear y’all are ok!! Prayer for you and Cali 🫶🏾🌿🌱
Prayers for y'all and others.
Stay safe!
Praying for you guys to be safe…I'm also in CA maybe 20-30 minutes from Cajon Pass…

I’m so sorry that you all are experiencing this daily stress. Please stay safe!
Kim and Jerry, I'm continuing to pray for you and others in the area of the fires. We have snow here. Hopefully, I'll get good pictures. I wish you guys could get some persipitation there. Please take care, my friends!!
