I'm back...I see we're NOT making progress.

Dear Lord, such horrible stats. SO many homes lost.

[Bellflower]

From my vantage point in Wisconsin and reading about these fires mainly off of Freerepublic I can't help but wonder if l.there are really a lot more than 1200 homes burned 2. the fire departments have done an unbelieveable job saving many more homes than can be imagined. The reason I say that is because the descriptions of the fires sound as though many more than 1200 homes should have burnt. Don't get me wrong 1200 homes is an enormous loss. But in my mind it would seem like there could almost be 12,000 homes lost. I can hardly believe that there isn't much greater loss of homes.
