I have been there and Oregon etc . Last year almost our whole country was ablaze . Some fires were still burning under the snow and re emerged in the Spring .

yogacat Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Fires are devasting. Unless man-made, they are very much needed to refresh and Recycle Earth and bring us metalloids that in the end create our entire existence. It's sad though when it destroys a town, especially one with significant history and culture. It takes away the memories and stories of generations of people who have called it home. Especially loss of life and homes is tragic and my heart goes out to those affected. The damage caused by these fires often takes years to repair and rebuild, and the emotional toll is immeasurable. I lived through Hurricane Sandy and I live in NoCal now and had to be evacuated as the fire was one mile from all directions except from the 101 Freeway, the only way to get out. Natural disasters can be a terrifying and humbling experience. It reminds us of the power and unpredictability of nature and how vulnerable we are as humans. I really hope that those who have been affected by this fire will find the strength and support to rebuild and move forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that those who have been affected by this fire will find the strength and support to rebuild and move forward. Father and brother in law's family both had their homes wrecked by hurricanes. We always like to think we are strong and invulnerable, then nature reminds us that's not the case. Natural disasters have jumped significantly in the last 50-60 years, driven greatly by climate change. These events are reminders we can still make small changes that will help the environment while pushing for larger reforms. Hopefully we can at least help prevent some of these events from happening in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
