THESE FIRES ARE HORRENDOUS!

Well, mama’s sister in law who lives in Sonoma with Dan, her partner, have gone to stay with her daughter to avoid the terrible smoke in that part of California.  These fires are not contained and there is no end in sight as of now.  If only the winds would change!!! This is the worst fire tragedy in Califonia’s history.

And in the town of Sonoma, where mama’s sister lives, people not far away have already been evacuated.  We are praying they do not have to leave their condo.  What does one do?  Can things be saved?  Is there insurance for these things?  Or are they force majeure acts of God and uninsurable?  Oh, I hope not.  And think of the animals who are homeless, too, or missing.  Evidently many anthros are missing still….

We are all very troubled and worried here right now, being so far away and unable even to give shelter to anyone needing it.  Mama’s niece says that the new “homeless” are the victims of these horrendous fires, and many are sleeping on the beach as there is nowhere to go.  A Hilton hotel burned to the ground.  The footage is frightening.

I have to go get settled now that we are finally here but perhaps I can post names of places one can send aid to the California tragedy.

My trip is over. But I was a trooper in the long run.  Just no more long runs for me, I hope!  These fires are so, so much worse.  Unimaginable.
