Apparently it burned an area 3x the size of Hong Kong. (Give us a yell if you're alive Raven)
Yeah, I'm alive. But I'm not feeling all that great.

I was less than a mile away from one of the major fires but luckily for me it didn't get any closer. The horrible thing is I was floating in a friend's pool enjoying myself the whole time. I feel so damned guilty because I could have been helping somehow. Not that there's a lot I could have done, but still.

It makes me sick to my stomach to comprehend everything that's happened the last few days here. I'm going to give blood and make a cash donation to the appeal. That's at least something small I can do to assist.

There are so many people with literally nothing left besides the clothes on their backs. I can't fathom it.
