These photos of the Grange and Debbie’s house and yard were sent to me this morning. What a mess, huh?
Read Debbie’s Story under Storm Watch, 11/2/08, below, or click on post to the right.
This is what Debbie came home to, after fleeing to Glen Oaks Saturday night. Sunday morning, Don Case brought her the Sunday paper, and offered his help. This, the man in the photo with Buddha, who lost everything in the Basin Fire. Don, if you read this, you epitomize the Big Sur Spirit!
Oh, Debbie! Thank you so much for sharing your story and your photographs. They are both just so heart-wrenching. I look at these, and remember all the wonderful 4th of July parties we had out here in this garden, in the sun belt! I’ll have to locate one of my photos from then (on the other computer?) and post so people can see how beautiful it is, when not covered in mud!
And here is later in the day: “Blaze to the Rescue!”

Amazing! SOOOOOOOO Glad Debbie and her dogs got out safely. AMEN
What wonderful neighbors to help out like that! Wish there was a dog-in-the-bucket photo.
Kate, the VFB may still have some seed for anyone having washouts. If not, I've got lots of flowers and herbs available.
Take care up there this winter. I'll be thinking of all you folks every time a storm comes through.
