Thank you for posting this. I feel exactly as you do. Was evacuated in 2020 for more than a week and it was terrifying. My home was spared but so many lost everything. The experience pops up quite often in my memory and I find myself worrying during the dry months. Anyone having experienced this close at hand feels empathy for those experiencing the horror and you feel helpless. Sending caring hugs to you Unwind Your Mind and others feeling that same feeling in the pit of your stomach. Thank you again for posting this. It’s like we can have a virtual cup of tea together and find comfort in shared experience. 🩷🩷🩷
