A bunch of friends made it in before the hi-way was closed and helped load them and we took them to a friends place. The nice thing about knowing horse people is they all have trailers and big trucks. Most of them have a fair amount of property also. They also go way out of their way to help when disaster strikes.

We were stuffing 25 chickens in a large dog crate, just to get them out. One of the cows stepped on my Mom's toe and broke it. but other than that everyone and everything made it out OK. There are still some gas fires(not sure why they are having trouble tuning off the gas) in some of the destroyed neighborhoods and they are still hosing down hot spots, but the worst looks to be over. There is one neighborhood about 1/4 mile away that has ONE house surviving. All the rest when burned. Amazing when you see it.

Here's a slideshow showing some of the damage.
