NO (shouting) NO Ruby. If you hand write it, it CANNOT be witnessed.
If it is typed, it MUST be witnessed. This is what attorneys up here say.
If this is not so, someone please post.

Hang in there Ruby, we are watching the storms all over the State via
Satellite. We are just back from Susanville, 12 miles to the West, and we
really are fortunate here. But not so, in other parts of Northern
California. Saw freeway exists terminating in the water, stuff floating
out of houses and the lights were still on!!! They are saying this is worse
than last year's flooding on the other side of the Sierra, but on the other
hand, someone just announced that it is only a Grade 4 Storm system. Who's
right?
I don't know if it bad or good, but Reno's news last night reported that
strangely there (and here, and lots of places on the East slope of the
Sierra) it was colder than it was at Tahoe. Really weird conditions.
More due Thursday through Saturday. How many genealogists does it take to
build an ARK?
Best wishes to all. Cindy
