The aftermath of the California wildfires

My heart goes out to all those who have lost their homes and loved ones. 

And all the people trying to get their lives back together.

I saw this breathtaking photo a few days ago on the NYT

My God. It makes your heart stop.

  1. I read a few articles on Free Press on how many failures have contributed to the actual disaster

  2. We are used to destructive bush fires in many summers, but there is one big difference. Ours are rural, largely destroying farms, animals and forests. Tragic.

    California's fire is in a densely populated area, destroying homes, businesses and citizens. Doubly tragic.

  3. Dreadful that the fires happened over there. Thank goodness there were not too many people lost their lives.

  4. So many people without house insurance - how will they fare?

  5. I have been following the Asheville disaster in North Carolina clearing up after Storm Helene and it is the same that many people do not have insurance to rebuild their houses. America's news as far as climate damage occurs is terrible.

  6. The wildfires were horrific. It's going to take people caught in them a very long time to rebuild their lives. I can only imagine their utter distress and dismay at the situation they find themselves in.

  7. My heart stops when I see Gaza which doesn't mean that I feel not with the normal citizens in L.A
