I will post more on this terrible story over the next few days.
But again I say... God’s speed to all of those who are helping in the effort to fight these terrible... ongoing fires.
.
I also send out my thoughts and prayers to those who lost their lives, to their families, friends and loved ones... to the families that have been evacuated from their homes... and to those who have lost everything.
.
God bless each and every one of you...
