Does anyone here live close enough to possibly have some local knowledge, or insight, of what this means?

Someone commented on a post that one of his daughter's stuffed animals was in the street. That's all I got.

I think by now his family would have contacted him one way or another. This is very tragic. Still hoping for a miracle.

Yeah. I don't think this turns out well. He'll never forgive himself for leaving them there.

I'm pretty clueless on fire protocol for the state/ fed authorities but what's normal? I mean supposedly this guy and his family had a 3 hour mandatory evacuation warning, with a wildfire I'm not sure that's screwing up that bad? Those things can shift pretty easily?

I've seen 'extreme' warnings all over the south recently for fire warnings. I mean sometimes stuff happens and you gotta go immediately and not screw around.

WATE says the missing mom they are talking about is Alice Hagler of Chalet Village.

The missing mom in this thread we were speaking of is Constance Reed

I am still praying and hoping for Michael's wife and girls.
