Santa Rosa Fires.
My parents lived in Rohnert Park from 1986-1996. This is about nine miles south of Santa Rosa's downtown.
If we wanted to go shopping at a mall we had to go to Santa Rosa or further south to the North Shore of SF Bay.
I lived there from December 1991- June 1996 but had visited quite often from the Twin Cities except for am early winter of 1994 in the suburbs of Chicagoland helping my aunt deal with my uncle before he went into a nursing home a few hundred feet down the street from them.
Hard to watch all these areas that have been burnt by these fires.
Still have family in that area of Northern California.
The people there seem to be working together to help one another and fire fighters are coming from all over to get involved.
I have seen fire burning around Reno, Nevada and it is scary thing to prepare for it arriving in your neighborhood.
And all those wineries and other employers affected by these fires as well as the employees.
