Wow; I can't imagine how scary that all must have been for them. I remember some of my LiveJournal friends on the west coast posting about the smoke, and the skies being dark in the middle of the day; it's hard to believe how such a small thing can wreak havoc on so many peoples' lives!

I'm glad everything ended up being okay for them, though. I would probably be like the husband, saying, "I'm not leaving until I see the flames!" Probably not the smartest move, but I totally get it.
