and on the seventh day

🔥 Day 7 (Tuesday) - The weather cooperated the last couple of days, allowing containment to reach 17% by tonight's 6:00 press conference. Apparently there will be more controlled burns above our neighborhood, likely on Thursday when the weather is predicted to be *most* favorable. Even though the operative word is 'controlled,' I dread seeing the map light up again - it is so so stressful.

A damage assessment map (shown in the screenshot and found here ðŸ‘‰bit.ly/2QrK4al) was released late this afternoon. It's hard to comprehend how many homes have been destroyed in the last week. 350 or so confirmed and that number is supposed to rise significantly. The neighborhood above us is almost completely gone. Ours has so far been spared due to the heroism of firefighters. <3
