Joe Offer posted the following on Facebook about an hour ago. For those of you who may not know, Joe and Christina live in northern California where wildfire is always a danger, but apparently even closer than what has occurred before for them.

There is a wild fire across the freeway from our home. We were evacuated about 3 p.m., and we are staying with friends in Auburn. We think our house will be ok, because the fire is moving away in the other direction. We don't know when we will be able to go home. Please send socks and underwear.

Hoping the fire not only keeps heading in another direction, but hoping no one in any direction are harmed or lose their homes. I know fire is a fact of life in the west and part of the natural process, but still hate for so many people and wildlife to be at risk or destroyed.
