Anyone heard from the butcher?

I've just seen some news footage of those terrible California fires, and Richard JBL mentioned that the Butcher lives within the fire damaged areas.

Has anyone had a chance to speak with Andy to make sure that everything's OK? Destructive fires are not a subject that I want to be reading about on www.cobralads.com .....

I talked to him yesterday. Him and his family and pets was evacuated on Saturday, but by Sunday was back in.

We got evacuated saturday night at 8pm. My area (Rancho Cucamonga) was hit hard by the fires but very few houses were lost. There were 4-5 houses burnt near me. Here are two maps that help show the california fire situation. It was scary and surreal.

I hope everyone in CA is safe at this time.

Yes, that is good news. Having to evacuate, thinking that you might be seeing your house for the last time, must be a horrible situation...

Those maps are amazing!
