@ai6yr Sorry to hear you have left, your the ‘why’ I got on it in the first place. These critical events can reveal a lot.
@vogelsanglover They are a great app, and a great team, it's just I am not needed or wanted there anymore, so it was time for me to leave. I lost a lot of sleep over not being able to do what I do best during the biggest wildfire outbreak in Los Angeles history because of how things are now organized, and I had to stop from making things worse by trying to convince them to change that. Maybe things will change in the future, but it's not for me anymore.

@vogelsanglover This was not the case before... this feedback

Feedback received at Watch Duty ... "My home burned to the ground in the Mountain Fire in Camarillo on November 6. I wanted to let you know that the Watch Duty App informed me and enabled me to evacuate in an incredibly fast moving fire that moved faster than evacuation orders were able to be sent. .... No evacuation orders have been issued. The fire was moving too fast to get information out--except for what I got from Watch duty.... want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Our home was burned to the ground but we are safe. You were my only source of information in a life and death situation."

@vogelsanglover (Under the current way they are managing things, I would not have been able to post that to any of the fires this week)
@ai6yr @vogelsanglover My family now has the app to watch over me in So Cal. Truly a great resource, as is Ben.
