Chris: Fully understand the emotions you are going through, not easy hang in there and be ready to go. Seven years ago we had severe fires here in the mountains, from our house we watched the fire move around 5 miles in under 30 minutes as it had created its own wind storm. Luckily for us it moved up the adjacent valley and we were OK, our escape routes were blocked. As they say here its not if there will be a fire its when!!
