It's personal to me. I have several friends who are now homeless in Oregon and California. Been contributing to GoFundMe accounts, and packing quilts to donate to them. It's heartbreaking. Everything burned to the ground, nothing but ashes. Strangely enough, the white picket fence in front of one friend's home didn't burn. Incongruous. Painful to look at the photos.
It's an inferno. My brother has evacuated a second time. Pretty sure the family cabin (built back in the 1920s) will burn. I keep thinking of Cadet BoneSpurs chastising California, saying they need to "sweep the forest floors." Crickets from the Orange Idiot and his ilk, of course.
Feeling more and more like this is the end of days.
