Map of the Green Valley lake slide fire


This was last updated yesterday but I'd like to note it anyway. The red is stuff that burned, the blue lines are the houses confirmed as okay. While the white lines denote that the firefighters haven't made it there, and they don't know yet.

hmm, did these people came from the future?

From a RJ Q&A see post below

Question:

After reading a book like Misery by Stephen King I think that I would be terrified to be a writer. What has been your creepiest experience with a fan?


Robert Jordan Answers:

I haven’t had any creepy experiences with fans unless you count the bikers who came to a signing after hearing a rumor – untrue -- that I was in very bad health and threatened to desecrate my grave if I died before finishing the books. That was a little on the odd side, especially since they looked as if they might desecrate graves for a hobby. On the whole, my fans seem to be pretty sane. No freeze dried cats as presents. No requests for autographs in blood. Oh, a few women have volunteered to have my baby, but that’s a whole different thing.
