Almeda Fire 6 - Two Months Out Driving through or running through the fire-ravaged area has become commonplace. Writing here and now, it's the first thing to bring back tears in the last month. The feeling of "we should have done more" looms heavy on my soul. The question of how much more could have been done had I left work earlier, gotten to mom and dad's farm, had a bit more knowledge on what was going on than I had at the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659827033360-7PST175POGA4WTFEXY82/IMG_7763.jpg Blog - Almeda Fire 6 - Two Months Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659826989364-TIAX7BNKLTB5UP9A7J10/IMG_7796_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 6 - Two Months Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659826987992-Y4QMORSBXNWG1XFCY7VR/IMG_7804_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 6 - Two Months Out https://www.themissingmiles.com/blog/almeda-fire-5-phoenix-rising monthly 0.5 2022-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/07f20c94-1bd2-4a7c-a0d5-0ca466d98f00/IMG_7757.jpg Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising - A call comes in from my manager. They've heard that Phoenix is open but no one has yet confirmed. They'd like me to take the afternoon off and go check, take care of anything I need to, and not worry about the clinic. So I go. I emphasize that if something does come in to please call. I'm only a 15 minute drive away. The main entrances are still closed: the freeway, north and south Highway 99. Facebook is lit up with accounts of people heading in the back way: south on 99, right on S. Stage, left on Houston, both 4th and 1st street concrete barriers have been removed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/cdb407f4-a476-4bd4-802b-f75076a39513/IMG_7756_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising - It is blissfully true. I drive in and see various cars driving around. As I get to Andi's and my neighborhood I recognize most of them. On this clear sunny non-windy day I am finally able to start to let out all the pent up breaths and worry as I turn into my driveway and see everything still standing. ...and I've known all along that everything is here, but in this moment the aspect of returning home and knowing that I can stay here, it is liberating. I am able to, for a moment, simply stop. Andi and I have been so lucky overall throughout this process. We have properties that made it through the initial firestorm. We were able to keep mom and dad's place safe, and with that have a safe place to stay this past week. We've been able to check on our property almost daily. We've been in a position where we can work to take care of friends who have lost everything. We, like everyone, have been going going going going. I call around to my neighbors: yes Phoenix is open, yes your properties are safe, yes people are moving back in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659826453784-QY5QI5B0LXPYGZ71JHLT/IMG_7670.jpg Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659826499223-F5IMMJ2E2L4L097CC7AM/Almeda+Fire+05.jpg Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/1659826500718-4WUHY4TA8GSFGYVH1P07/Almeda+Fire+07.jpg Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/e59c91f6-67cb-4ae1-b3a0-0bac1115978b/IMG_7408_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 5 - Phoenix Rising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.themissingmiles.com/blog/almeda-fire-4-the-first-steps-to-normal monthly 0.5 2022-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/658ce1b6-ca5f-4c5b-a04d-fb7e623f4b19/almeda+fence.jpeg Blog - Almeda Fire 4 - The First Steps to Normal - Somehow, miraculously, power is back on. No...not miraculously, but by the around-the-clock work of the Pacific Power Linemen and their crews. We were told there were over 300 poles down between Ashland's transfer station and Talent. There are similar percentages between Talent and Phoenix, and Phoenix to Medford...and it's odd. The power poles are not burned to a crisp. For the most part they have been burned most of the way through in the bottom 10 feet, and the tops are untouched. During and after the fire they've simple fallen as dominoes between the wind and the weight of the pole. The fire was moving fast enough, and burning hot enough, that the rest of the pole never caught. So...new poles everywhere, transfer of transformers and wire, and a huge amount of new material brought in. We expected 2-4 weeks based on initial estimates. They returned power to the majority of the area within 6 days! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/7c546bbb-7a30-45fc-aafa-b6baee172c8d/2021042513465151--9016486661656748688-IMG_0071_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 4 - The First Steps to Normal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.themissingmiles.com/blog/almeda-fire-3-reality-sets-in monthly 0.5 2022-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62cf9385b66e2565af39319e/51194647-fb86-4958-8a30-5e9385926e6c/IMG_7191_HEIC.JPG Blog - Almeda Fire 3 - Reality Sets In Then you find that piece of dark chocolate, or the kiwi, or the quick homemade meal your friends and family have made while you’re out.
