So, from someone who has both been a helper and needed them: Thank you. May you and your loved ones continue to stay safe and well, too.looloolooweezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100008049805674675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-25807401270496344272018-11-17T13:47:53.381-08:002018-11-17T13:47:53.381-08:00I'm so sorry that your area is going through t...I'm so sorry that your area is going through this. Down where I am, we don't know fires, but we have some experience of hurricanes, and it sounds like a lot of the aftermath problems are similar. Thank you for sharing some links to places we can donate -- I don't trust the American Red Cross, and I always prefer to donate to local organizations for any recovery work.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-57096044537297930732018-11-16T11:12:58.599-08:002018-11-16T11:12:58.599-08:00What an absolute nightmare.

They will find more; they've brought cadaver dogs and are searching the whole town.<br /><br />Also, norovirus is spreading in the shelters and I seem to have picked it up too. I'm a useless wreck today.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-81068090669112104762018-11-15T11:45:44.994-08:002018-11-15T11:45:44.994-08:00How much of that fire is contained?

They even combined the death toll from both, although I heard today there were three confirmed dead from the Malibu fire, which leaves the rest to the Camp Fire.<br /><br /> It's almost like A Tale of Two Cities, if you compare the two fires. God surely does not discriminate. : (Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-53511163820084008742018-11-13T21:17:47.072-08:002018-11-13T21:17:47.072-08:00I'm glad that you and your family are safe.

As someone who also lives in a bushfire prone country, I understand the fear you're all living with right now.<br /><br />I've just read a book called The Arsonist about the worst bushfires in Australian history just ten years ago. The fire was ferocious and the bush is still recovering, but recover it did, with time. It's harder for the folks who lost people though.
