Complete Loss

Santa Su & Box Cyn Rd., CA

This once gorgeous home is now nothing but a pile of ruin.
It was sad to walk around, seeing car parts torched in what
was once a driveway, noting the still hanging (yet never to
be used again) swing in the shade of the tree, the big toys
now abandoned on the side of the house & the trampoline in
back now loaded with rumble. You could tell these people had
worked hard to get a good life & in under 24 hours, it was
all taken from them by the ferious flames ~ Tremendously sad ~

There's more trees in this country today, than ever before in history. There's also more people. And all it takes is one careless person, to bring those numbers down. Mother Nature is going to start enough fires in nature to thin what's needed. While we're better at defending property today than ever before, we'll never control nature. Then we have those who do this on purpose, and I'll never understand. Not sure what took place here, but when property of this type is lost it is sad. As with the past floods in the Gulf, some never recover. We've had some of the worst of everything this decade, and can only hope for brighter days ahead.
