X2. I hope the winds die down and the fires get under control soon. Such a tragedy for all.

I heard a piece on the radio about the dangers from the smoke. Very scary.

Hope the weather changes out there soon, sounds like a horror for you Californians!

In addition a 32 three window, 30 Model A roadster,34 five window, 40 coupe,35 pickup,and a 38 phaeton. Several project cars were also lost. There could be more , but those are the ones I'm aware of at this time. It's an ugly situation in Napa and Santa Rosa.

Be thankful people got out alive. There were many who didn't. Hard to believe.

True statement but it goes to give away programs.

It's so hard not to chime in about give away programs, like most of us think. "Frikken ay, get a job".... That always worked for the rest of us, and it still does, but we really need to keep it about old fords. I'm willing to bet there are specific sites for airing one's dislike of local, state and the federal government. In some areas, they could certainly use improvement. In others they do a fine job. Hey I got some '26-'27 model T tail lights today to use as turn signals on my wagon project. AND... There looks to be some rain on the way for the Napa area.
