New numbers are coming in
Now reporting over 10,000 structures destroyed, over 8,600 are houses.
138,000 acres still only 35% contained.
Smoke has mostly been in the hazardous range throughout the valley
Spent today crying with a good friend when she told be about her son and grandson who got trapped by fire on 4 sides and called and told her goodbye; their lives were saved by some fire fighters who sprayed them and others with water in a field. My friend and her son both lost their houses and absolutely everything.
Quoting: Madame Royston Both a horrible loss and miraculous survival. I don't know how people go about putting their lives back together after such tragedy. The older ones never will be able to. So true; many of the very old if they rented had no insurance. My friend literally has had a light go out of her eyes. As to putting lives back together, where do you start? She says she will rebuild (as do most of my other friends who have lost homes; but practically how long does that take?). Plus Paradise (and Magalia and Concow) will never be close to the same again.
