My ex-wife lived in Lyons Oregon, where the Beachie fire rampaged. They got a notification at around 12:30 AM that they were to evacuate, and had about a half hour's time to get packed and get out. They had a couple bags packed for a planned beach vacation so they just grabbed that stuff and evacuated. There was 3 days worth of clothes, a few beach toys, a couple beach blankets and towels... They basically lost everything else except for a few sentimental items they grabbed when they left. My kids lost out really bad on this. My 3 year old son (born 9/3, but celebrated his b-day party on 9/8) had just gotten new toys and stuff, and it's all gone. I bought him like 3 presents, for example a large toy car, that he got to play with for about half an hour before bed... then 3 hours later they had to evacuate. Right now it's 3 AM on Saturday, I just got them to bed, and I am bawling my eyes out and sobbing hysterically but trying not to wake them. I am normally a pretty strong person. I am normally very calm and collected. But this is devastating. Every once in a while my 6 year old daughter says something like "Oh no! My scooter!" when she remembers things that she no longer has. Everyone we see, the first thing out of her mouth is "Mommys house burned down!" I'm trying to keep it all together when they are around but now that they are sleeping I am really losing my mind over this. It took a few days to set in, but it finally has.
