My report confirms what Bruce sent, except that Liz said the motel was in Lakeport.
Vicki Werkley communicated with a mutual friend, who sent me the following info:
Vicki and Liz Turner (with Vicki's husband Tom and their bird) got a motel room in Kelseyville after 3 evacuations. Downtown Lower Lake is not in good shape. The fire started about a quarter mile north of Vicki and as far as is known, her place is safe. On Sunday, the fire was moving toward Liz's (she is on Cache Creek above the high school).
A neighbor reported that it looked as if Vicki's place was safe as of August 14 afternoon. The fire had gone off toward the north east where it would run into the area that burned last year.
I don't have any further information yet about Liz's place. We can all hope her optimistic report to Bruce proves true.
According to a news site, a man has been arrested and charged with arson in setting this fire as well as others over the last year...
I'll let you know any updates I receive.
