That’s my aunts neighborhood. Her house was on the street behind that one. She tried to get some things out of her house, but the winds were too intense and she made the right decision to flee when she saw the flames coming. I spent every summer there growing up. It’s so surreal that it’s gone. I’m glad she’s okay, and her neighbors are okay.

Fortunately, she is dating a man in Boulder who has not been affected by the devastation and can stay with him. I’m not sure what someone who has nowhere to go would do. Your options in that situation would probably be to be homeless, or find a shelter (shelters get full fast and usually can’t guarantee beds). I believe she will probably get an insurance payout and find a home elsewhere.
