I wish that too, but that’s not a possibility. The whole town got literally erased. Even the neighbor city (chico) where people have been brought after evacuation was still affected, of course not as badly as paradise itself.
I live in the outskirts of sac. around 90 miles away, due to the wind the last days, even down here it reminded of a horror movie. Thick black and astringent smoke, that was extremely difficult to inhale. My place smelled last night like it burned down too. The fire alarms indoor as well as outdoors were going off none stop, fire department had to come out and disconnect these.
I can just imagine how it must feel in areas closer to paradise or even the town itself. So far it’s 25% under control, but winds are about to shift again and picking up more. Currently the wind is blowing towards the sierras but who knows how long that will last.
Other states were asked to assist etc.
paingawd I am very sorry to hear about your house, hope that you and your wife can stay safe and recover quickly. If you need something don’t hesitate to hit me up, I’ll do my best to help somehow.
