Oh, Jean, those poor violins! I can't imagine what I'd do in the same situation - I have a Steinway concert grand, and it doesn't exactly fit in the back of...
Katie - You may be in the clear by then - I'd venture to guess that the fires would certainly be out by that time. Certainly. One would think! My fiance got...
Moe, someone mentioned a bit earlier the effect of this smoke/ash on the car filters.....think of the masks as a filter for your lungs. dianne ... From: "Moe...
... Good thoughts coming from Woodland Park, Colorado. Two years ago the Hayman fire (137,000 acres) came to about eight miles from my front door. I...
Dave, I am so concerned about the air quality that I called a number listed on the 2200 news a bit ago and it was the Fairbanks PD. She told me that they have...
Its smokey all the way to Healy and somewhat (not sure) to Cantwell. I know it was bad all the way to Nenana today and South of there. dianne ... From:...
I'm Suzanne here in Anchorage --- I would definitely get a mask -- breathing in smoke can't be good for your lungs. I would get a mask if I were up there....
I'll bet you're nervous. I would be prepared to leave; one can gather as much news as possible. If you have a scanner on to hear emergency broadcasts. We can...
Jean, there's no need to worry about Dave over at my place. I have friends all on alert, I have an evacuation plan in case that's needed and I've alerted my...
Melissa, My thoughts will be with both of you the next few days. It is a hard enough trip without having to worry about dodging around fires. If its any...
Steve and I drove back to Fairbanks from Cantwell yesterday early afternoon. The Denali area was smogged over, but the area around Nenana was much worse and...
Two Rivers Dave is okay-I am here with Jan's mom and a family friend visiting from Chicago. We have access to 4 vehicles here and if conditions worsen, we can...
Thank you Georganne, Yes, my parents (well, Dad is out in Prince William Sound but mom is there) our houseguest, and my 57 dogs and 4 cats are there in...
... Lol I wasn't meaning that you would leave them there. I was remiding Jean that if worse comes to worse, he's not out there by himself, carless, etc. Let...
Melissa, We've pulled our 5th wheel through 37 twice [the Cassiar Highway]. It's not a dirt road though. Some paved and some gravel. They work on it all of the...
... LOL Jan, I didn't say that you'd do that!!!! I just thought he might be there ALONE, I'm glad he's not! And of course I was worried about the dogs getting...
Oh Georganne, That wasn't directed at you. It was directed at Jean. I don't understand that comment of hers but that's life. Sorry for the poor wording on my...
To anyone on evacuation alert or who may be evacuated; make sure you fill up your gas tank now and don't wait until there are lines at the gas station. Pack...
I live in Tok and we haven't seen the sun in days...at all...not even it's outline. The only time it's been worse was in 1990 when the fire was one mile...
Quite the welcome home, Eh Susan!? Glad you made it back safely! Susan <snooze4592@...> wrote:Steve and I drove back to Fairbanks from Cantwell yesterday...
Yes, quite the welcome, Moe! Today is much worse than yesterday. And to think that it was much worse earlier is awful! Seeing the ash in the air is pretty bad....
I hope all of you in the fire area stay safe. In 1987 or around that time, there were fires all around Reno. I think the closest one was 300 miles away. We...
