Prayers sent. There've been fires in central Oregon, but these are mostly in not so highly populated areas.

Blessings,

Everyone okay in Napa, CA. and the surrounding areas? 6.0 earthquake this morning.

Definitely felt it down here in the east Bay Area.

Sending prayers for your sister, Chase. (Sara, he won't "hear" from her, because wanno...) I believe the main damage is in Napa and environs, so she's probably shaken, but okay.

Blessings,

I would guess that, too. Lafayette is far enough away that it shouldn't have caused any problems there. My brother lives in Sonoma, which is very close, and things are OK there.

Just wanted to post, since a few people were concerned. I'm just fine; I'm over a hundred miles north and east of Napa, and on no major fault lines. I didn't feel a thing, but my sympathies are with those who did.

Carol,

My deaf sister lives in Lafeyette, California. No texts from her this morning. Any news from her area?

Chase


Sorry I'm late in answering! I'm sure that she is fine. Lafayette is quite far away from where it happened.

Glad to hear you're fine, Cathleen T., and your brother is okay, clintl.

:ty: for assurances and good wishes, Carol, Clintl, Siri, and Sara.

So far, no bad news from Lafayette but no contact from my elderly sis. Thus, my hearie housemate called a nephew in Paradise to go check (we're pretty sure the Paradise where he resides is another town in California, not the ethereal place).

Again, :ty: for your concerns. :D

Good news update. My nephew drove to Lafayette and discovered my sis alive and well and learning to use a new text phone, which she hadn't yet used to give the rest of us her new number. :ty: all. :D

It seems the driver had a heart attack in the cab.

One of those horrible unfortunate things that happen.

It's been a rough couple of days in southern Australia with a heatwave leading to bushfires in the Adelaide Hills and western Victoria. Those fires are still burning, while a new fire has started in Hastings on the Mornington Peninsula, SE of Melbourne.

The cool change, which is moving eastwards across Vic now, has brought some rain, but also lightning.

Good luck to those of you in the SE. Stay safe.

It looks very tough down there. Hope for the best for them all.

Rain has helped them stop the spread of the Moyston Vic fire. That's about 40kms from me. They've closed the Ararat relief centre, which bodes well.
