I can barely look at photos, so much destruction. Apologies for your father's home though. I can tell you, if you remember April 27, 2011, I see this event as a smaller more localized version of that.

Yes that was an INSANE outbreak, agree. Dad is alive and that was all that matters. I was there when the fire was still smoldering so I know exactly what they are going through...complete shock. I am watching this weekend as we have another set of Low pressure passing through us here in NCal which is what set up this event. Looking at the forecast I will be watching these systems. Might be more severe weather in the picture soon.

I will be too. Can’t believe that there was a TD Emergency. Apparently, it’s so many people who needed medical help, that they had to send people outofstate
