Awful. Hope everyone gets out ok. Things can be replaced, but man, what a terrible event in a string of terrible events down there. Hoping for some rain.
Hoping for the best to all that are impacted by these fires. Some with Teslas in the area are using Bioweapon Defense Mode, I just learned about that feature.
This is so minor compared to what people closer to the fires are facing, but:
"The Alameda County Council of Superintendents made the joint decision today to close all schools in Alameda County. Making the decision to close schools was not easy. We hope the extra time off will allow everyone to recover from the difficult week we have experienced...."

Zinke rips 'radical environmental groups' over California fires
Washington (CNN)Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is blaming "radical environmental groups" for a lack of forest management that he says are spreading the deadly California wildfires.
In a Tuesday conference call with reporters, Zinke criticized "lawsuit after lawsuit by, yes, the radical environmental groups that would rather burn down the entire forest than cut a single tree or thin the forest."
Asked which groups, Zinke declined to name names. He acknowledged been an historic drought in California and rising temperatures, but primarily focused on all parties working together to manage forests.
His colleague in federal land management, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, spoke instead of misguided efforts of "well-meaning environmentalists."
"If not doing anything to the forests kept them pristine, I'd be all for that. That's the problem," Perdue said on the call with reporters. "That's been the theory from well-meaning environmentalists over the years, is that a forest that you did nothing to was pristine. We know that's not to be the case."
Together, Zinke -- who oversees the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service -- and Perdue, along with the Forest Service, manage the vast majority of federally-owned land in the U.S.
Zinke's comments echoed an interview he gave with Breitbart News on Sunday.
"I will lay this on the foot of the environmental radicals that have prevented us from managing the forests for years, and you know what, this is on them," Zinke told the conservative news outlet.
At one point, Zinke told the outlet it's "not time for finger-pointing" -- right before he pointed fingers at "radical environmentalists."
"This is where America stands. It's not time for finger-pointing. We know the problem: it's been years of neglect, and in many cases, it's been these radical environmentalists that want nature to take its course," Zinke said in the Sunday interview. "We have dead and dying timber. We can manage it using best science, best practices. But to let this devastation go on year after year after year is unacceptable."
The interior secretary and former Montana congressman has made similar comments over the last week with regard to the wildfires, which have killed scores of people.
Yeah my lungs and sinus are shot from this fire. The fancy mask that my friends who lived in China for three years recommended should arrive today just in time for the rain, but I have a feeling I will need them again.
