Worried about Apoppin

(Mods, if this in the wrong forum category please move, tx)

I'm worried about Apoppin (Mark Helz). I'm pretty sure he lives in the area where the wildfires are burning. I've lost his phone number and can't check on him. Thought I may have seen him on the news last night talking about the loss of his home etc. I can surely (and I hope I am) be wrong, I couldn't get near enough to my TV to really read the poor guys last name.

If anybody has his cell number, would you please check on him, or give me the number so I can.

TIA

We have no more contact info on him than what is in his profile.
We did shoot him an email, that's about all we can do.

This would probably be better off in Off-Topic, perhaps someone who knows him might be able to assist you. As for the mods, they may infact have these records on him, but the specifics (phone number) are unlikely. Let's hope they move this for you.

Hope he's alright.
 
You might try shooting an email to any other accounts he has. Perhaps one of them is an online account and doesn't reside on his PC.
 
Mark is a good egg, here's hoping all is well with him! Maybe he is on vacation, back in the islands, surfing the north shore maybe? Hope that's where you are at braddah 🙂
 
I hope he is ok as well. It has been a while since i posted regularly in the Video forum so i haven't even gotten to argue with him for a while 😉

Hope all is well and someone gets some info soon!

Well, I dug into some old records and found Apoppin's address.

Unfortunately, the area where he lives is very close to the fire. News reports indicate that it came near or into his "neighborhood" (as best I can tell) on Wednesday 7/12. There were some reports of evacuations. I hate jumping to conclusions and getting all dramatic-like, but am beginning to entertain the possibility he was evacuated (I note his last post was Tuesday 7/11).

Doesn't sound real good, but then again who knows? Maybe he's on vacation (hope so).

Can you do a phone search (cell or home) with the address?

Dangit... I hope he's all right, he is a pretty standup guy and a big contributor here.

Regardless, even if he was an a-hole and a detriment to the forum, I still would hope he'd be alright.

What a crappy situation they have there in California right now. 🙁
 
I'd try not to worry about it. He's probably causing fires of his own in Oblivion 😛

Seriously though, I think he's alright. He seems like a very energetic fellow and I don't think a fire could get the guy. Hope for the best.

Actually the Fires are mostly in remote areas, I doubt Apopin is in any kind of serious danger. As usual the press is making this out to be more sensational than it really is.
