FortMac Fire

For those who don't know the short version of the name , it is Fort McMurray and it is burning.  It is pretty good size city and now it has been overtaken by wildfires.  As I mentioned in previous posts, we are suffering from drought condition in Alberta and winds seems to be blowing pretty hard around.  No one would expect this to be as big as it became so quickly.  Entire city is under mandatory evacuation order (60000) and many home were lost with all content.  This city has been hit hard, no, people in that city have been hit hard.  What a devastation and despair.  My wife was crying this morning listening to the story on the radio.  We all feel so helpless, well perhaps we could help in a material way the affected people.  Luckily, so far no reports of any serious injuries.  Material thing can be replaced, sure lots of those affected lost more than material thing.  This is one of the biggest disaster in a history of Alberta and  pretty big in Canadian scale. I have seen report of some great examples of humanity and compassion.  The least I can do here  is provide some support by donating to  Red Cross.  All these people , especially the one that lost everything will need financial support and need to know that we are behind them with full moral support.  Good luck and stay safe.
