It’s awful. My wife’s sister and her daughter lost everything but the clothes on their backs and one car. Nothing left on their lot but a hollowed out basement t foundation.
How very sad.
How very sad.
I almost hope they are still in shock, so it sinks in slowly. I know I am too materialistic because I’m getting old and the things in my house mean more than they probably should. To lose them all .... every darn treasure .... agony.
I really wish them well, for the pittance that’s worth.
Dear God, that's horrible. Glad to learn they're ok, that's the most important thing. Are they getting help/housing assistance right now?
My cousin and his wife's home in Louisville was in the mandatory evacuation zone, so they've been living in their little cabin in the mountains since Thursday.
The updated map put out yesterday morning indicating the boundaries of the burnt areas showed that the furthest northeast extent of the fire reached within 5-10 blocks, or 3000 ft of their home.
Their youngest son, who lives in Boulder, was finally allowed in today by the authorities to check on the status of the gas & electricity in their house, to ensure the pipes wouldn't freeze.
