Prayers for homeless people and pets in Lake Tahoe

I agree. We have a second home up in South Lake Tahoe and have been watching the news very intently. One of the other owners of our condo is up there right now and has assured us the condo is not in jeopardy at this time.
This is the WORST fire ever and it's so sad to see the footage of homes that are nothing but ashes.
Hopefully they can get it under control today while the winds are not so strong. Forecast says tomorrow is going to be another windy day.
Everyone affected by this unfortunate tragedy will be in my thoughts.

Prayers going out...a long-ago musical colleague of mine has family there, and I hope they and their home escaped damage.

Thank goodness the pets are remembered! And bless the hotels that have given free rooms to the displaced families!

I hope the weather settles and this fire is beaten.

DJF, My thoughts and big Pittsburgh prayers go out to the firefighters fighing this tragic fire, all of the people made homeless, and any people even remotely touched by this tragedy. BTW, are you anywhere near the fire?

DJF - the news is up in Canada, so I am sure this has made national headlines in the US.

Catty1, It's on all of the stations in the U.S., too.

I rarely to never watch the news, so I'm not sure if it's on here. However, I will keep the Lake Tahoe area in my thoughts. It's so sad how many fires we're having already this year.

Our area is especially bad, as we have had several years of dry weather. I live in Reno, so the fire has quite a ways to go before it reaches us. I was up there the weekend before the fire started though.

I have a feeling that this is just the start of a very very bad fire season. There is a ton of dry fuel for fires around my area, I shudder to think what will happen if some careless person lights the hills around here on fire. If a fire starts closer to me, I have a feeling I'll be called out for traffic control as it is part of my job to help in emergencies.

Thank you for your prayers, I pray that I am wrong and this is the last of the major fires.
