Thx.
My finger was on the switch to flip the Bat-signal/SOS as i watched the Camp fire race toward my Bat-cave in Chico from 2 hrs away. The evacuation line was and still is a block away from my cave....many weren't so lucky.
Have close friends in area that have lost everything except for the shirts on their backs and the vehicle they escaped in.....
Thankful, but still watching the winds...

I was on the Lancia board for a week helping a Fulvia owner in Paradise sort out an electrical problem. His house, his Fulvia, and a few other classics he owned were all destroyed... Really sad.
Because I was helping, my own family hinted it all may be my fault. Hyper spleens run in the family.

Sadly, i am sure many classic cars have been lost here among the personal property. Tragic.

My daughter lost everything in Paradise.
So sorry to hear folks. I can’t even imagine Chris. 
Gosh that's terrible Chris.
I have a friend in Chico and she keeps posting photos that are just amazing.
We have had rain here for 3 days straight and have flood watches for the Chattahoochee River. Just crazy what nature will do.
Hope you get some rain.
The "incredibly wet.." part of three hurricanes this year, one of the wettest on record, flood watches with sleet and freezing rain Thur, but nothing compares to what is going down out your way, Chris, and others. Our hearts go out to your family and all of those affected.
Although no where near as bad as losing one's life or home, some cool classic cars got burnt.

Wow Chris. Just seeing this now. That is terrible news. I am so sorry to hear that. Anything we can do to help? Set up a GoFundMe for her or something?
Oh Chris, SO Sorry to hear that. We have relatives/friends living in Oceanside and Escondido. They told us a couple of days ago they could see smoke trailing from the fires that far south. Just heartbreaking to see the devastation, and even more so to hear of 'friends' in our little community here on the internet whose families have been hit. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Very sorry to read that Chris. Anything we can do to help?
What is needed, we are here to help!
So sorry Chris. Difficult to imagine such loss. Please let us know. Mike
There is a GoFundMe account in her name. Go to GoFundMe and search Heidi Macha, then select see search results, there are two accounts that pop up on top. GoFundMe requires a minimum 5% donation on top of any contribution to her but that is all. Add a note that you are a BMW friend. Thank you!

Chris, which one should I go to? I'm not sure and I would like to contibute, but to the correct one. Thanks.
Both are for Heidi, one created by her mom and another by a friend, either works. Thanks Steve.
Excellent. Let's show her some support, everyone!
