Fire Update for Thursday October 25, 2007
Posted by admin on October 25, 2007 in Special Notices
Why let a little fire ruin your plans for success? This morning, I followed through with a planned interview with Dan Kennedy. Although my plan was to do this interview from my own studio, using my professional recording gear, that just wasn’t possible, so instead, I did the interview from a portable hand-held phone with a scratchy phone connection.
Good news came later in the day when we were able to return home, ahead of the crowds. When I got home, I can’t tell you what a joy it was to see my new home standing there, 100% intact. It was covered in ash, and the pool had turned black, but otherwise, all is well.
The big thing now is the air. It’s horrible. My office smells like a building would smell after a fire. The air is trapped in the house and opening the windows at this stage would only serve to make matters worse since the air outside is many more times polluted.
When you have these kinds of fires, it’s not the smoke from the burning or grass and trees that’s the problem. It’s the multiple hundreds of homes and businesses that were left to burn to the ground. All the plastics, chemicals, computers, solvents, cleaners, and other highly toxic materials that burned created this very polluted air.
With luck, within a few days, the on-shore breezes will return us to the fresh ocean air we’re used to around here. Until that time, keep the windows shut, and use a mask if you go outside even for a moment.
Back to business. I was indeed able to get connected again to the Internet today and was balke to check more than 1,500 e-mail messages that had arrived in my inbox over the past 3 days.
A big THANK YOU to all of you who have sent messages of concern. I will do my best to reply to each and every one of you, personally. Just know that your concern is very humbling and very much appreciated.
Friday, I intend on working to get caught up again on some of the things that got dropped in our haste to evacuate on Monday. So stay tuned and I’ll post those updates here as they happen.
Be outstanding!
Robert Imbriale :)
