Shirley, so good to hear from you with your updates. I was listening to some interviews with people held up at Qualcomm Stadium and as you mentioned, it sounds like everything is going very orderly...nothing like the chaos, looting and crimes with Katrina.

This tragedy is so wide spread...almost everyone has a friend, relative, co worker, or knows someone evacuated who has lost their home or still unsure. In the past I always felt the tragedies affected "other people", never anyone we actually knew. Not so anymore. It seems so surreal.

There are still 18 active fires, can't wait until this number is ZERO.
