Space is limited at all the shelters here in Sonoma County. Covid concerns and keeping the shelters far from what would be their max capacity. The petaluma Veterans Building is already at capacity, according to a county website. We spoke to a couple yesterday who had to leave their home sunday after hearing the sirens closing in. We just heard more and more sirens and pretty soon woo got the warning alert and then we decided to leave when there was a warning rather than stay when you were told to evacuate because its really hard to get out because we live just off calisto dwrx a road and its bumper to bumper. Took us an hour to get just below which is normally a twominute drive. Bumper to bumper.

You think of all the visits. I have been there and so many people have been there and to think about it being destroyed or partially, its really tough to see that. It is. Theyve already had such a tough time in Sonoma County especially this year because of the previous fires all the smoke destroying so much of the grapes that are already on the vine.
