Sadly, there will be many more who are missing in the fires. The videos have been horrifying. Prayers for the residents, tourists and firefighters and the lost pets.

Oh, no. This is terrible news. :-(
Fleeing for your life, it is imaginable how one could lose contact with others in the "fog of confusion" that undoubtedly happens.
Fingers crossed for residents, businesses, rescuers, pets, and anyone in that region.

Thanks for that. I will NOT donate to Red Cross.
