As the death toll continues to rise in both northern and southern California, I cannot help but remember this past summer, when we were evacuated from our home for the Spring Fire. For one week we watched and waited to see if our area would survive bone dry conditions and high winds. Luckily we received a good rain just in time to quell our fires and save most of the area, except for homes west of here in the mountains. They were burned down before the nation’s firefighters arrived to save this valley and the town of La Veta.

This is absolutely heartbreaking.
And I’ve decided you just can’t fix stupid.

Well said. It is hard to wrap my mind around such callousness.

The California fires are heart breaking! I’ve experienced the heartbreak of two category five storms last year…but there is something about the complete destruction of a fire. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and those who have lost loved ones. 😦

When I see photos of those fires, I feel so horrible for the people who are losing their homes. I can’t imagine how anyone could not have compassion for them. Unless perhaps you’re a narcissistic sociopath, like Trump. Or the people who continue to support him in spite of his despicable behavior.

Don’t worry Shari…I have a feeling it is all going to catch up with him very soon.

This is heartbreaking! And it’s terrible anyone who experiences such a horrible event has to be re-traumatized by a narcissistic moron who should be offering compassion and support.

Years ago I worked with a woman who had lost her home in a fire caused by a defective lamp she had purchased several days before. So fortunate that no one was in the house at the time (adults at work, children in school) because it could have been tragic. I think of that multiplied many, many times from knowing one person who has “been through it”- thinking of the toxic smoke, fire spreading so rapidly no one was enough warning to escape, panic, horror, and more. I think the full tragedy of all the Western fires is only now being revealed. How can anyone doubt what kind of man our President is – one without compassion, one focused only on him self, one who uses people and tosses them aside, one who restocks the swamp regularly, one who threatens withdrawal of Federal funds not at all understanding (or caring) what is going on.
