Update: we didn't turn anything loose and decided to wait it out a bit longer. Then everything changed. We are safe at this point. 9 hours after the GO NOW message they rescinded the status but now we are in GET READY. Go figure. We are having to look past the emotionalism. hype and conflicting information from several entities doing fire management. Wife and I are not strangers to fires from before we retired here. Her being a endangered species biologist/manager in the field and me with the QA engineering scrutiny of everything, to read between the lines - we aren't too worried and haven't packed a bag. We are more concerned who will take us in with 3 working dogs, 40 pigs, geese, ducks, chickens and the pet Nigerian billy goat. We won't ask any of you cause you're are too far away (wink).
