Theresa — I’m glad your brother’s neighborhood was largely untouched.

I know the fires are so scary. My brother lives in one of the areas and was evacuated. The winds were raging and he said a wall of fire was coming down the street! His neighborhood survived with minor damage thanks to the wonderful firefighters. They are back home now. But the situation can always change.

What is so sad about fire is that you lose everything. You have to start completely over. How hard.

Diane — I hope your friends and family stay safe.

Tina — Heh. I forgot, stars are involved so the media cares.

Sarada — I can’t even imagine what it is like to lose everything.

Yes, Its really sad to read about the wild fires and think about all the people who lost their homes and belongings. My deepest sympathy to all of them and pray for all.

Yup, definitely all over the news about the wildfires. A lot of it has to do with Oprah Winfrey’s house being in the line of ‘fire’. I couldn’t imagine living with that fear. Best wishes for all.

Jen — They made the news in Canada?!

Nancy — Actually, wildfires are a lot like hurricanes, only in reverse. They involve hurricane force winds, but instead of dropping water, they whip up fire, and instead of attacking the coast, they hit the foothills.

Gen — It’s funny. Humans have conquered so much, and learned to control nature in so many ways. But then, something like a horrible wildfire or tornado comes along and reminds us just how fragile our existence really is.

We’ve been seeing and hearing about the fires. I also have an online friend who’s married to one of the firefighters at one of the fires. It’s a scary thing…even worse than a hurricane, because, unless you live right on the coast, you have a chance that you’ll survive the hurricane…not as much hope with a fire storm.

Our hearts go out to them also.
It is hard to comprehend what they must be going through, and how fierce that fire is, but it is a terrible thing. We have been watching it on the news tonight.
