More fire...

[silverthunder]

Kelowna is experiencing a disaster right now... There's fire *in* the city at the moment. About 200 homes have burned to the ground, and something like 30,000 people have been evacuated. My cousin and her family are staying with my aunt because of it. It's really crazy... and they don't have it contained at all. There is also a wind out there right now which is not helping at all. Even though the weather is cooling down.

Shit.

I keep thinking how close the Strawberry Hill fire was to our city... It could just as easily have been us. I can't imagine losing our house to a fire - but people in Kelowna have lost theirs. Living in a reasonably sized city hasn't saved them.

I hope we get rain sometime soon. We need it.

I wish I could do a rain dance for all of you out there dealing with fires -_-
