Following the shocking news last week, And not knowing if any of the Lula members live near this catastrophe, just to say I hope no one is hurt or lost friends, or relatives.
God bless them.

Indeed; a terrible thing, and likely to be repeated more and more frequently across the world.

My thoughts go to the victims, present and future (due to the smoke spreading and being so thick). In Portugal, we had two killer fires in 2017.

What I find as a common thread between these events is such distant countries, are the reports from firemen about how they never saw such fierce and challenging fires before. I saw a piece on TV, one year after the October fires in Portugal: some common aspects with California fire - reports on how the fire seemed to come from above, from the air itself; plus the quick changing due to coastal winds.

In October 2017, the killer fire in Portugal was "fanned" by hot winds coming from the Sahara; the soil, at the end of a very dry Summer, was really easy to caught fire...
