So hard to watch people struggle and hear that wind fan the flames. I live in California and completely understand. We had a big fire 1 mile from our house last week in a previous burn scar. WINDY. I packed the car.
CALFIRE, was magnificent.
July we had the Thompson and Park fires in our county. AWFUL .
My heart breaks for these people in northern Portugal.
