Month: September 2020

This is an update as we travel across the nation tracking natural disasters and its impact to some of our family members.

We first go to the Houston area where Tropical Storm “Beta” dumped quite a bit of water. Luckily, we are all in an area that did not flood. Since the pandemic, many school districts did not cancel for the day but just switched to remote learning for a day. (Mia is not sure how she feels about this). Debbie did spend part of her day cleaning out the gutters with a stick. (She calls it saving the neighborhood. Others do not). She also watched for pauses in the rain to drag Parker protesting out for a walk. (Parker prefers dry feet).

Our next stop is Oregon for the Holiday Farm Wildfire. All evacuation orders due to the storm have been cancelled. The containment rate is around 35% much more reassuring than 0%. Lindsey and Aaron are feeling much better about it.

Thankfully, we have no other stops on the natural disaster tour today.

Lindsey reports that visibility is better today.  She can now see beyond the end of her hand.  She knows that blue skies are up there but can’t see it yet.  Lindsey also reported that things have settled down somewhat.  Bags are still packed.

Today’s weather forecast is smokey with low visibility (we could have guessed that).  Rain is forecasted for later in the week.

On a lighter note – There was an entry for the headline that hit 71. Clearly one has to be clever. I can’t get past 51 points even with the Game of Thrones Dragons.

September 15 Update

Lindsey reported that during the day the air had cleared somewhat from the picture that she had posted.  They have not been assigned an evacuation levels. 

The number of personnel has been increased to over 700 and more equipment including assigned aircraft.  They have started constructing control lines across the fire perimeter.  Containment is still at 6%.  Estimated containment date is Oct 29th.

September 14 Update

The fire is now at 6% containment.  The ground has somewhat more moisture making for a fog and smoke atmosphere with almost zero visibility.  Lindsey sent a picture outside the hospital where she is working.  Aaron and Lindsey are still at work with to go bags ready if their evacuation status changes.

Aaron’s Dad has returned to El Paso and posted that he passed through some areas where everything had been destroyed by the fires.

Holiday Farm Fire Update for September 13

The wild fire and structural firefighters on the Holiday Farm Fire east of Springfield have made progress.  After being at zero containment, they now estimate 5% containment. If an area is contained, it means they can prevent additional fire spread. Not all sides are contained yet.

Additional firefighters have been brought into help.  With more resources, the crews have been able to do burnout operations to control the fire in the southwestern side. 

Lindsey and Aaron report that they are still at home but have their go bags ready.  The air is very smoky and they are staying inside as much as possible.  Luckily, everyone already has masks. (Finally one positive for Covid-19).

On a side note, I just want you all to know that the editor used to write the blog says that my titles are too boring and gets a 31 points out of 100. My competitive spirit makes me want to shoot for 100 but feel that this might shock the readers. Below are some tried and their scores. I thought for sure that the last one would be a winner.

Covid-19 has shut down the travel blog for awhile since we can’t go anywhere. 

However, it is a good place to report on Lindsey and Aaron’s status.  They live in Springfield Oregon, a suburb of Eugene. One of the wildfires called the Holiday Farm Fire and is outside Eugene / Springfield.  It is 0% contained at this moment but the fire fighters are hopeful that with additional resources and the change in the wind that they may be able to begin to contain.

The Oregon evacuation levels are:

1 = Get Ready

2 = Get Set

3 = Go – Leave

Lindsey and Aaron’s house has not been declared in any of the evacuation levels.  They are packed and have a plan.  They live in Lane County. They are still going to work.  Their area is very smoky. The fire is about 10 miles from Springfield.

I will post updates as I get them.
