I joined an online group for people displaced by the fire so I can keep on top of things for Rachel. So many sad stories of people not allowed back up the mountain (were at work when the evac notices came out) to rescue pets or get belongings. Animal Control is doing what they can... but so many lost their homes AND pets. More than 2 of the fires have been arson. They've caught one guy, killed another guy, and one got away.... but all those little fires were put out, thankfully. There are multiple reports of looting, and they suspect a lot of the smaller fires are arson related... tho very hard to prove at this point. They could be from the fires jumping around from the high winds, but too many reports of suspicious activity.... -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: V~ 's message, "Gilly Bean took a bad fall today too. I was holding her in one arm and holding the phone with the other. Goose and the other dog I had running around in the office with me started barking, so I stood up to see over the 4.5 foot-tall counter to see if somebody was coming in. Gilly leapt out of my arms to stand on the counter, only she slid all the way across the counter and fell to the ceramic tile floor. She started screaming... I about had a heart attack. She went into mild shock and was completely white... She's ok.... some bruising around one eye and a couple teeth are a little loose and bloody at the gum line, but no broken bones... THANK GOD. I think I aged 40 years tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on 7:21:27 pm, Thu, 10/25/07

This world is full of SICK PEOPLE! There's already a lot of scamming going on too.... people offering to check on homes and then charging people before they'll give them the news/photos or whatever. Lots of assholes coming out of the woodwork to take advantage of peoples' grief. (NT) -- V~, 7:29:46 pm, Thu, 10/25/07
Ayone who comes in and takes advantage of these people who have lost everything should be shot on sight, in my opinion. Yup, assholes they are and I can only hope that someday, what goes around comes around. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:22:35 pm, Sat, 10/27/07
