I'm here guys! Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes.
What a night! The fire is still smoldering but under control now. We ended up with firefighters from 14 cities helping out plus the black hawk helicopters.
The wind died down and that helped a lot too.
We lost at least 10 buildings for sure plus 6 are badly damaged and may need to be torn down. Some of them were built in 1863 when the fort was built.
The fire did jump the street and get onto the roof of a wooden rail road depot the city had restored. Luckily, they got it out and it is safe.
The wind is picking up a bit now and I can smell smoke from the fire. I heard a helicopter going over but think it was a news helicopter. We even made CNN this morning. The scrawl part, still I'm surprised they noticed. We got the boot now because they caught the man who shot the judge and others in Atlanta yesterday. I'm so glad they caught him, by the way.
We are still to conserve water all weekend; no car washing, laundry and such.
We are to hear from the city manager again after lunch. I'll let you know if anything new pops up.
We were so blessed: NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS EVEN INJURED!
A miracle since the fire started in a business district during business hours. I'm sure all your prayers helped a lot!
Thank you again so very much.
Ya see how you are? That's why I love you all so much!!!!
