Have you ever watched your city burn down?
When I was younger I had a friend named Sarina Kirschner. Her family owns a mountain that were going to build their dreamhouse on. I used to walk on that mountain with her all the time..we used to ride her horse...run down the hill and all the stuff you do when you are in grade 7-10. Hell I even took nudie pictures of her on that mountain. It's burning down now.
I watched it tonight. I want to say that it was absolutely horrible because it was, hell it made me want to cry...and I DONT CRY! But it was also the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It's wierd because on one hand I want the fire to keep going so that I have something to occupy my time with, but on the other hand...I dont want my city to burn down. I already know a few people who's homes have been burned to the ground. It's a horrible thought. I know that this is nature taking its course...but the houses are in the way and that is not a good thing. I dont even know how big the fire is anymore, last I heard it was 170 km squared. Fastest that it was travelling at one point was 100 feet a minute...that is faster than a human being can run.
I'm surprised that I havent talked about this before because it is such a prodominant part of my life right now. It's beautiful...I wish I had pictures that I could post for you all to see...but I dont. I will sometime though...it will amaze you.
Most of you probably arent going to care enough to even get to the bottom of this post. But I dont care...I need to say this.
My city is in danger of burning down and I am actually scared about it. If I get evacuated...what do I do? I mean how do you pack 21 years of life into a car? And then just drive away from it all and hope its there when you get back? It's a frightening thought and as I watch this fire get closer and closer to my house...the neighborhood that I grew up in...it is starting to get less beautiful and more frightening.
It's horrific watching entire trees that have probably taken hundreds of years to grow go up in flames....
I dont know what to say anymore.

i feel a lot for you right now. i can't imagine the situation.
*hugs* thats all i can say
We all are here to experience different things in our lives and this is something you are here to experience. I'm not sure whether I'm glad I am not you or whether I wish I were able to partake in the experience.
Good luck and stay alert. Fire can hypnotize humans. Be strong.
