Can you say 'Evacuation?'

in Non Cigar Related
A number of you have contacted me to see if we're alright in light of the situation with the Oroville dam. At the moment, we're okay. We were evacuated yesterday evening and spent the night in our car in the parking lot of a neighboring county's fair grounds. So many people were evacuated that all hotels, motels, etc. were booked solid. Not much sleep to be had sitting in your car....

We learned today that the evacuation order for our town, Yuba City, has been modified to an evacuation advisory. Other surrounding towns are mandatory. I don't know why there's a difference but we're presently back at home - for now. 

It's not supposed to start raining again until late Wednesday so we've got a couple days respite. We'll most likely have to leave again. We'll try to be a little better prepared next time. 

Many thanks for your emails and texts expressing concern. It just shows the love and camaraderie that exists among the brothers and sisters of the Leaf who populate this forum. 

This oldfart and his child bride love you all and thank you for your concern.

    I evacuated this morning. Usually do, most every morning, before my shower. The thing to remember is that the job is never done until your paperwork is complete.

    @jlmarta so glad you are ok, I haven't been keeping up with the news over the last few days, and I haven't been on the forum either. I will add you to my prayers. Stay Safe.

    Oldfarts qualify as curmudgeons, do they not?  I have an advanced degree in curmudgeonly. It's what qualifies me for my job as resident skeptic and lovable oldfart....   :D

    I use the word curmudgeon other day and my wife thought I made it up, a few days later we were with an old friend of mine and he said curmudgeon, and I laughed and laughed about it. We need a few curmudgeons in this world

    I have been keeping up with the news reports with you and the rest of the folks in my thoughts. Keep safe and stay ready to beat feet. Get all the important papers together and give them to a friend in a safe area. Oh, and waterproof your cigars.
  • jlmartajlmarta Posts: 7,881 ✭✭✭✭✭
    All very good advice, JD @jd50ae. I'll take it to heart. Thanks, kind sir. .....  B)
