We went home for a few hours today to collect photos and keepsakes, but we've now officially evacuated our home. The two fires in the hills west of St. Helena are or have joined causing a mandatory evacuation for the town. I've just heard another vague rumour via facebook that Napa residents should also be ready to evacuate. This is so nerve wracking.

It just won't likely mean a lot to you since you don't know the area, but you'll see all the road closures and fires.
