Hey everyone!! Wendy IMd me - we are actually chatting as I write this. She asked that I let everyone know that the family is fine - all of them are in a hotel - evacuated at midnight last night. They left without much, but all are well, and have bought new outfits so they don't have to live in their pajamas.
The couldn't bring the pets with them though, so if you could keep the rats, gerbils, and dog in your thoughts that would be nice. The kids aren't in school - middle shcool is in the middle of the evac. area.
That's pretty much all I have to report, but at least we know that she and the family are well and in a safer area.
