Prayers/Vibes/Goddess ...whatever Hopes! For our CA DU'ers who are close to Wildfires!
There are those here who want to divide us over the fear of DU'ers who live near those fires. Folks who want to divide us over Malibu Mansions and LA Hollywood folks...who have homes in the areas being hit...BUT ..those folks forget that many "ordinary folks" live within "windrift or ember throw off" of those homes and it ISN'T just the RICH who are worried it's everyone in that area.

Just like with New Orleans...do we single out folks of one kind on DU against Another...when ALL SUFFER?.. All are ARAID.

All DU'ers all over America are suffering with Floods, Drought and Environmental Degradation that are hurting them in these times. That we have a "LAWLESS/CORRUPT MOB" in Power in our Government Doesn't Help Either!

Let's Pray or Vibe or whatever for ALL OF US...BECAUSE IT'S ALL OF US WHO WILL SUFFER FOR DECADES TO COME!

((((((vibes/prayers/mantras/wishes))))))) to all Californians...and Georgians, NC'linians, Floridians and all the Midwest folks and those inbetween who are suffering from Global Climate Change.

Let us all SURVIVE..and keep working for CHANGE...so that at least our Government will WORK...even though the "Climate Change" is so far in progress...we are ALL CAUGHT UP IN IT!

We need to have more Empathy/Sympathy with our fellow humankind...is all I'm saying....

2. I feel very bad for these folks. I must confess I don't not understand
why a person would build an expensive home in a place that is prone to wildfires, mudslide and earthquakes. :dem:

6. Or . . .
drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, lightning strikes, killer heat waves, tropical diseases, political upheaval . . . and that leaves?

15. It's not all expensive homes that are in danger. No matter what kind of home or where
we live today...we can be in danger of drought which causes wildfires or floods that haven't been seen before. People live where they live and for awhile these events were rare. Sadly, it's everywhere across America now and it affects the rich as well as the poor and those inbetween.

3. I make no divisions... Only hope the best for all of those that are affected by this horrible...
disaster.... Please all be well, and don't stay to save your home... Just be safe and get the hell outta there... Nothing is worth your safety and ultimately your life.. Leave it, rebuild later...

11. My friends are safe
Left Ramona area 10 pm last night, had a motel already, got kids and pets out, now settled.

Their brother also in peril, haven't heard about him yet.

Can only hope for the best and I think they are resigned to whatever happens.

Having been through a fire and losing my beloved cat, one realizes that material goods are truly meaningless.

18. hot weather, very low humidity (10%-)and up to 105 mph winds do not distinguish
between rich or poor, good or bad. The weather circumstances are extraordinary.

heard on radio- winds near Lake Arrowhead clocked at 105 mph

my positive thoughts to all the living creatures (human or not) in the area.

21. Good vibes on the way!
Having gone through the Angora fire in Tahoe, I completely understand the terror, confusion, and sadness folks in SoCal are going through. :(

We in CA live in an incredibly beautiful place -- and sometimes Mother Nature exacts a toll for that pleasures. We understand this completely. Earthquakes, fires, landslides -- it's what we live with to be here.

And with us now beinning to see the ramifications of global warming across our country and our world, we will all soon be in a position where it going to take more than prayers and good vibes to help us survive. :(

I hope everyone down south makes it through this safely! :hi:
