Seriously folks, there is a nasty fire ( 200) hectares raging in Kelowna on the Glenrosa side of the valley. 4000 homes have been evacuated, and it has skipped across highway 97 and is heading over the Goat ridge, down Gelatly way towards the lake. Lots of homes up in there, and lakeside is where we used to stay at the farm when we had the Stanali cup. Now that is a big huge condo development. Sounds like it all stands to go up in smoke. The mill has fire in the log storage area and the big family home ( Mill owner?) above, is completely destroyed.
This is where is gets dicey. Just up the hill from that is where Mildred and Phil live...on Morningside, ...just a stone throws away form where Sandra and Leo had their home, on Yorkton.
Up the hill further, another mile or two is where Warren and Kim live. Phew...all sounds very dicey. I hope they are safe and no one loses their home. It sounds like the fire is also heading towards Peachland and has the power out there..Terry and Shannon have their summer home in that area, so again I worry for all of our rellies and friends. I think I'll try the tv and see if there are any updates or news happening.
On the happier side,w e attended The Blessing Ceremony of Russel and Angie today and it turned out very nice indeed. I am happy I went! I'll fill you in with photos tomorrow.
Good night all, stay safe and extinguish all of your fires!
