It is heartbreaking watching the news and seeing the fires destroy so much, leaving people with nothing but ashes where their homes once were. (and personal belongs that can never be replaced) The air that you breathe must be so awful, I just pray that there won’t be huge numbers of people with serious health problems later for those who can’t escape the smoke and fumes.

It is really hard to watch the news reports. I had to switch the channel yesterday, as all it showed was the flames and smoke. Although, they did feature some residents taking pizzas and other snacks and beverages in to the firefighters.

It was awful that 500+ homes burned down at the Oakridge Mobile Home Park, many of those people retirees, I think.

Yes, we’re going to have bad air for awhile. I’m not sure when the wind will shift to onshore flow again....I worry about the very elderly, ill and frail.

Thanks, (((Billie))).
