Went thru the same thing here a couple years ago. Did not evacuate despite it being mandatory. Was without power for several days, so no internet, no phone service, no lights, fridge, etc. Pretty intense. Hang in there.

Only advice I have is to download plenty of audiobooks, podcasts, and Netflix. And charge your power banks and devices.

been fine the whole time.

I am pretty sure the official concern about us is due to fucking google/satellite bullshit. nobody worried about us before. not the first time that mountain has burned.
