Family update

Thanks everyone for your calls, emails and text messages.  Sorry I don't have any real news about the fire. The situation is so unpredictable no one can even guess what might happen. It's frustrating trying to get new information, even here in Seattle.  But we know the fire-fighters are doing everything possible to save Twisp.  The fire is still on the outskirts, but the winds are potentially a big problem this afternoon and tomorrow.

I've been in touch with Amanda (the blessing of text messing!) and they're OK.  They went back to their house briefly this morning to pick up some essentials and are driving now to the town of Leavenworth pulling their little travel trailer. They plan to camp at someone's home with a group of other displaced friends. Misery loves company!

This is a sobering Google "fly-through" of the Washington fire situation.
