Digger Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Mate, my heart goes out to you and your family but I’m so glad to hear that none of you were hurt, or worse. Fire like that is unimaginable and the terror that it has you in when its approaching is beyond belief. We’ve been in a threat situation 3 times and with the worst drought ever Australia will be susceptible to such apocalyptic events as soon as a few weeks from now. However this is about you and I’m just so glad you are alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks everyone. It’s surreal. There’s nothing I can do to stay sane right now so I check email and come back here. And als talk with the insurance people. Playing guitar and having musician best friends has been an important part of my life since around 1972. I lost 3 acoustics and 5 electric guitars. Devastating. I have scoured the photos my neighbor sent and even asked him if anything is salvageable. He said it’s dust. Life goes on. Thanks again folks.

LarryUK Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My thoughts from the UK and I hope you get a good start again Tman. What I can't understand is, why aren't the forces being used? Surely the Air Force have things that could have been used? Spray a water mist into the air? It's such a widespread disaster, there doesn't seem to be enough people to control it. With the people that have died, the army could have helped to evacuate them. It seems a half arsed effort by the biggest power in the west. My sympathies go to the families that have lost their loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think we could have a collection for Tman towards his next guitar. Gibson could step in with a good will gesture too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Man! I just now read about what happened to you Tman. Like everyone else here, I'm really sorry to hear, but glad you are physically OK. Jeez. Do't know what else to say, but hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriy Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This is terrible, Tman. I hope you will be fine. Maybe I can also help you as regards electric guitars. This year I made attempts to agree with Gibson to release active guitars (with pickups of my design). It was probably a little at the wrong time. Now is the new leadership and in the near future I will resume my attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I am so sorry, T-Man.... no words. I can't imagine..... These fires have been so devastating to so many. I have friends who were evacuated from their homes up in the Thousand Oaks, Augora Hills, Calabasas, etc. areas. Thankfully, they've all returned home recently to relatively minor "damages". These fires are so unpredictable... and it's only getting worse. My thoughts are with all those Californians who've been effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It was just on the news here in the UK that there are hundreds of people missing. Shouldn't the forces be helping by now? It's a massive disaster that you could see coming a year ago. Why has it been allowed to get out of control? I've seen conspiracy theories on it and it makes me wonder about land grab.

Tman Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Decided to delete the photos. I didn't need to post in the first place. Still not able to get to the property. Hopefully Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
