I just felt so helpless not knowing what was happening and not being able to do anything. We didn't even have access to local news; we were watching national news, but we couldn't tell what had happened to the house.
One of our friends was able to get to the house, and they've confirmed that our house is OK. There were a couple of small fires in the backyard that they were able to put water on and contain, and we're just hoping that they stay contained.
The community has been amazing, very welcoming; we've met most of them, and they've gone out of their way to make us feel welcome. Neighbors have checked on the property for us, and they've sent updates about everything that is going on, which has been so helpful.
