The fire this time

I'm watching the news now, and the fires in California dominate. This number is incredible--540,000 people have been evacuated. More people are on the move than in the evacuation from Hurricane Katrina. The largest peacetime movement of Americans since the Civil War. A number, a stat that gives me chills. I can't imagine how people feel as they find some place for shelter, wondering if they have a home to return to. As you watch, you wish to give something more than prayer.
