Hope and Despair

There was no fire map posted yesterday, but the one below is current as of this morning. The yellow indicates the active perimeter.



Winds are gutsy and erratic today. But they aren't headed in our direction very often, which is good. I would guess that the risk of the wildfire seriously threatening our house is now pretty small, likely less than 15%. But it's difficult to know. I tend to swing between irrational despair and irrational hope, largely due to the overwhelming uncertainty of the whole situation.

I'll probably go to the informational meeting at the Castle Rock Middle School again tonight. Hopefully, the firefighters will report good news about containment.
