It turns out that one of the dealers I was concerned about is on the road to attend a coin show in Georgia.
Arson has definitely caused fires here in the past, however this week, "Nearly 11,000 lightning bolts strike California, igniting hundreds of fires in a state facing multiple crises."
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/20/us/california-lightning-fires/index.htmlI talked to a numismatic friend in Healdsburg last night. The conversation ended when his phone beeped with a fire department warning to prepare to evacuate.
Once again, my thoughts and prayers to everyone in the fire zones.
Best wishes,
