Today, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Toronto, fielding phone calls from co-workers who are packing up their belongings back home due to the voluntary evacuation announcement in their neighborhood because of the raging fires quickly approaching. I even have colleagues here at this conference who are trying to figure out how to get their families to safety from thousands of miles away.
I just missed the chaos by a day.
My life back home is surrounded by smoke and flames and I can't do anything about it.
I'm not sure which is worse ... a tornado or wild fires.

I thought of that after hanging up from you today. I can say this: tornadoes happen quickly and devastate quickly. Fires can linger on for weeks, leaving you scared, helpless, and waiting...just waiting. A terrible feeling.
its heartbreaking... i was watching the news from the gym this morning.
heartbreaking
I have the answer, thanks to this morning's news. Two words: fire tornado.
I am going to look at what is left and what is still burning in So. County tonight so I can start to accept this.
