GOODNESS ME ! I've just read about Rich's disaster in Paradise. I didn't know he had a house there.It's like a reprise of Dan's. I'm really so, so sorry. We saw a young woman on the news, driving along the road, braving the flames. What a nightmare. Impossible to imagine.
Amen to all of this ... Awful. Growing up I stayed over a friends' house and the house had a huge fire in the kitchen and needed to be completely torn down and rebuilt. We all easily got out but the fire was pretty amazing to me ... but i think of how it was contained and at the time there was a decent snow cover in Connecticut so it wasn't going anywhere. AND then i see these fires... WOW... I think our fire was nothing! Such devastation... incredibly sad! Bless all of Paradise and the other neighboring towns...
