OMG! OMG! Every time I hear the news from Paradise, it just keeps getting worse. So Bill and Rebecca, I understand y'all no longer live there...but the horrendous destruction must have affected your friends and neighbors. I pray to our God Creator that peace be with those families.
We live here on the Gulf Coast, but when a hurricane heads this way...at least we have time to evacuate.
What I'm hearing from Paradise is they had no time to escape. I cannot imagine a more horrible death, and not knowing if their loved-ones are even alive...it breaks my heart!
This is Malibu, but it gives you the idea of how fast/horrible it's been.
That's Malibu Canyon Road heading to the coast, I think. A long and treacherous drive at times depending on the weather, especially in the fog. The tunnel was the landmark I recognized. Many fires have roared through that canyon over the years.
Once famous for a minute as it was home to the Pink Lady of Malibu Canyon ...
Ah, yeah. I talked to him last night; the fire didn't come up, just the usual stuff. I'm sure it's smoky. He lives near my Sister-in-law and she hasn't really mentioned any worry other than smoke. They're about 70 miles away as the crow flies.
Yeah, it's been a years long drought here. I'm in the Central Valley, and it's very smoky - the air quality sucks every fall (harvest dust), but it's especially bad right now. We're getting the smoke from both Northern and Southern California into our area. Sure could use a very wet winter - fingers crossed.
Amen to that! Give us rain, beautiful rain but not too much at once cause then as you know we are sliding into the sea at that point.
Yeah me too. If we all post on our social media outlets, I think it would help a lot. This tragedy is the deadliest fire in CA with 42 dead so far and still dozens unaccounted for. People burned in their cars and running on foot to try an escape the flames. I can't imagine the chaos and the fear. Most people understand hurricane and tornado relief but fire storms are lost on them. It's devastating and becoming a way of life in my home state.

Also donated and am so proud to be a part of the RP family. Went through the list of donors and could not believe the amount that said they did so because of Bill's comments and the link on RP.

Fire is cruel. Had the unpleasant experience of being caught out in a major bush fire here in Western Australia 20 years ago. Lost heaps , pets and animals included.
Darling wife been at home on her own in two subsequent lesser fires.She amazes me she still can keep it all together. Big positive is it makes you revalue and see how sweet life is.
