I know the answer is "maybe" depending upon 100s of variables but it may come to this with the fires.
I have more cars at the house than I can quickly relocate, first world problem to be sure. I know we have a good number of members in this area - hope people are doing OK. |

Tom, thoughts with you. With a 914 I've had for 32~ years, and open lands just a street and a house away…I get it. But, ultimately, stuff is stuff.
Our evac plan is to drive a wheelchair van and the 914 out of here, leaving a 911 and a Mazda in the garage. Or, if need be, just the van. I could be wrong, but I suspect cars have their best shot at survival in a garage anyway, as I can see firefighters being more worried about defending structures, and rightly so. |

We have tree on either side and the back of our house so it the wild space catches I’m pretty sure the house would too, along with it then the garage. Never really know until it happens I suppose. It is just stuff ultimately.... Taken in town up in what is called Foothill Ranch where we have members, around 7 PM last night. |
