It wasn't that long ago...

When this story was all over the news, and we were only a scant few miles from the fires, with friends who were very close to losing their homes. California is a beautiful state and we enjoyed living there greatly, but stuff like this is so regular it's scary. Mudslides & forest fires in the West, hurricanes (east) and droughts (west) in the South, snowstorms and blackouts in the East... I'll stick with the Buckeyes as being the main problem in the Midwest...
