I know the answer is "maybe" depending upon 100s of variables but it may come to this with the fires.

I have more cars at the house than I can quickly relocate, first world problem to be sure.

I know we have a good number of members in this area - hope people are doing OK.

Based on pictures I saw from the last round of fires I wouldn't think you have a much better chance of anything surviving on the street vs in your garage or driveway. The heat , smoke, and embers from an entire neighborhood on fire seems to do a lot of collateral damage.

My buddy out in Lake Elsinore last year was having to keep an eye on his yard as embers from miles away were floating in and lit up a couple of his neighbors yards. Crazy how intense the fires are these days.

Not sure what movement restrictions are in place out there, but maybe you could bring a few people in to help you move cars out? I would offer to help it I were anywhere closer.

Hoping for the best for all.
