How did it happen that you couldn't move them before the fire hit? I've seen the horrible news reports of the situation, but is it that it moves so fast there isn't time? But you're right, material things mean little compared to life itself.

So sorry to see that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Good luck Andy.
I'm on one of the wine forums constantly, waiting for word that Napa Steve's property is out of danger. He and Carol evacuated yesterday.

Man that really sucks! I don't know how you do it, but have to get thru this and move yourself and your family on. There will be other houses, cars etc... but your family being safe is silver lining. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

Our newspaper here in Charleston commented that there was very little time to evacuate for many and that the fires were so hot that metal tire rims melted and left cars sitting on their axles.
Arial photos of before & after of Coffey Park neighborhood of Santa Rosa showed the dramatic destruction of many blocks of homes and at least 17 deaths.
Thank god you got out in time.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And yet the houses directly across the street appear unscathed. Tragic!

So very sorry Bryan. Incredible disaster. Happy to hear your family is safe.
Hopefully insurance will ease some of the difficulties.

Bryan - Words fail but know that many from 914 World are here, if you need anything. I'm in Petaluma and have room if you need a place to stay.

Why couldn't they be moved in a timely fashion? A fire that is 20 miles away being pushed by 40mph+ winds is on top of you in a half hour or less. There is NO time! Condolences for your sorrows.

Its pretty hard to view those photos and so sorry that this has happened. At least you have the right perspective as far as keeping safe.

Hope you are insured for full value of the home and contents as well. Also hope that you will find comparable replacement vehicles that you can enjoy in the future. Hang in there.

It makes the heart ache to see that. Let us know how we can help when things settle down a bit and you figure that out.

Very sorry about the house. Glad you're OK. I know it's kind of cliché but, it could have been worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Glad to hear that you and your family are safe, that's the most important.

As for the cars, I can completely empathize with your posts and someone else had said, "this too shall pass".
