First,all the fires out west, then the floods, then Mayfield Kentucky, now this. I am truly blessed to have a roof over my head even if it does leak in a few places. Sometimes we just don't realize how well off we are. I hope the people, loved ones and pets were spared.

That is definitely something to shudder at! Having experienced a home fire, I can recommend everyone take photos of every thing in your home! Open drawers, closets, walls, floors, photos, EVERYTHING! Then place in a fireproof location!!! Preferably off site! I recently did this (again) with my cell phone.

My son lives in Louisville, CO and was forced to evacuate. We were glued to a Denver TV station's coverage and just literally sick from the devastation we saw. As luck would have it, he went home yesterday and his home and all those around him were intact and unharmed. None of which makes it any easier for those who lost their homes and possessions in the fire.

Oh I am so glad his home was not destroyed. I have never seen anything so devastating. I am so glad he was safe.

I read a comment from a fireman that said it was the force of nature, not a lack of resources. Many years ago we had a woods fire that consumed a barn, a firetruck, several outbuildings, and a lot of woods. The crew of the firetruck had to run to escape the flames and our crew at the barn hid under their engine while the fire blew overhead. You don't fight fire when the wind is blowing like that...you simply follow along and try to save lives and what little property you can. Prayers for all concerned!

Oh that is terrible for you to experience that. I agree it was a losing battle trying to control the fires with such strong winds. There are still 3 people no accounted for, I pray they find them alive.

Very true. I pray for everyone who lost their homes and for the 3 people missing.
