Geezus i had no idea this was even happening! I just did a search and holy shit, those poor people!!

Its crazy. Hopefully the winds die down a bit so they can start to put the town out.

We just bought a bunch of diapers and baby food for them, lots of donations are needed as lots of people are now homeless.

I'm shocked....With the amount of rain on this side of the country at this time..we can't imagine it being that dry for fires like that.
