My heart is with you. I wish you safety, health, peace and ease. I lived in S. California for eight years and before that grew up in N. California. Then we moved to Colorado and continued to fear wildfires. On 12/30/2021 we lived in Louisville, CO and fled with our dog and the clothes on our back as a fire swept through Superior and Louisville and in just a few hours destroyed 1,000 homes.

I think the thing that peope who haven't lived in a fire zone (or an area of the country that experiences constant environmental threats) is the all encompassing constancy of the anxiety about having breatheable air, having enough water for your survival needs and to fight fires, the inability to obtain home/ rental/ car insurance and the needs to be always vigiliant and ready to flee- and where do you go when millions of other people are also fleeing? I understand a lot of your trauma.

Ally I understand and I'm sending you love.
