i've gotten several people asking through emails how i am doing. i evacuated to my sister's brick house about 15 miles east of my mobile home, left brat cat dewey here, i felt he'd be more calm in his own home. they had a mandatory curfew in orange county from about 10pm thursday til 8am saturday. my sister lost power for about 5 hours early friday morning, it was back on about 10am. things had calmed down outside, just windy, no damage. about noon friday, orange county mayor teresa jacobs announced that conditions had improved & they were ending the curfew at 2pm friday. i came home, no probs & we never lost power here. the only prob was our only access road had lost some soil foundation on 1 shoulder where it had been re-paved with new housing developments on each side of the narrow 2-lane paved road & either orange county or oakland had placed a traffic cone. if any more foundation had gone, we very well could have been isolated here. but i'm home now, no damage to my place or my storage trailer.
