Mica, and Family, and Alembic Staff-

Just seeing footage on Weather Channel this morning, there's a big fire in Santa Rosa, with some evacuations in progress... sure hope you're all safe there.

Oh wow!   Hope you're all safe.

Graeme

Let me know if you need anything!

Hope you are all well and safe!

Prayers are with you!!!

Mica contacted me to say that their internet is down, and asked that I post this message to you all:

"There are major fires in our area. So far it's not a threat to our home or business. But the winds are horrendous and we pray that we will stay safe.

"We have told everyone to stay home today to keep the roads more clear for the evacuees."

Thanks for posting the update, Dave. Luckily we are all safe so far. We'll be closed today because of all the disarray around us. Internet service is down at Alembic, but we're at the south end of town and remain safe from the fires at this point.

I have been in contact with friends who have sadly lost everything save themselves. This fire started at 1 in the morning, and we had horrendous winds gusting to 45 mph etc. Humidity was down to 10-20% and didn't come up much overnight. The fire was 200 acres and then bloomed to over 20,000. We could see the flames on other side of Mount Taylor over night.

2 major hospitals were evacuated at the north end of town. A mobile home park burned away, and the shopping center at the north end of town is aflame.

Very Glad to hear you're out of harm's way... the pictures on TV look positively dreadful. Sure wish we could send you some of this hurricane rain 

Good to hear that the Alembic family and facilities are safe. We live in Oakland and were woken in the middle of the night by the sounds of extremely high wind and the intense smell of smoke. Living in the Oakland Hills we were worried that there was a fire nearby. Hoping that there are no deaths or injuries related to the blaze, homes and possessions can be replaced.

I'm glad to hear the Alembic Family is well.  Currently on a road trip on my Harley and was planning to stop by the Factory Tuesday (tomorrow) to check on the progress of my Classico.  Will now route my way around the area and attend another time.


Mica.....when things calm down a bit, can you give me any update on my bass?

Sending good thoughts to the North Bay.  As Stephen noted, it got quite windy here last night.  We're at 1600 feet and have been under a Red Flag warning for the past couple of days.  All it takes is one reckless idiot with a match.  Glad to hear our Alembic family is o.k. so far.

Bill, tgo

Thank the Lord everyone is ok! Just saw footage, wow my heart sank for a bit there. Prayers for relief and for the folks that were directly affected.

Wow, this has been an interesting year! My best wishes to the people of California, and especially to the effected Alembic community. Be safe!

Good to hear you are all safe for the moment and am hoping it will stay that way. I know it can be nerve wracking not knowing which way the fires will go having been in a similar situation when we lived in NorCal. Will keep you in my thoughts. 

Prayers go out to everyone in the area and those
affected by the blaze.
Stay safe friends
