				| finally! rain with no thunderstorms...this should help, but there are still 45 fires going, only three of which are contained. my friends' parents were among the 2346 that were evacuated, they just never mentioned several hundred because they went home the very next day.(some against orders only to find nothing left to come home to!)

				| lol, lucky me. I live in the wetest pat of the province, so I don't have to worry about that,however, most of my friends live directly in, or near the fire warning zone(s)
