Into the fire
Fire came suddenly to the city of Santa Rosa. Abnormally high winds, much like the southern Santa Ana's, built up in the deserts of Nevada and rushed in with hurricane force upon Northern California. The temperature was mild but the humidity had plummeted, the forests of Sonoma Co. were a tinder box. There has been a lot of blame on the airwaves and commercials in the style of ambulance chasers. We took solace and praised our saving heroes. Now with the return of the rains, we begin to see green grasses push through the ash of our blackened hills. But even as we struggle to comprehend how to rebuild, California has been abandoned by the Federal Administration. While billions go to Houston and Puerto Rico relief, as well they should, California got the finger from a petty and ignorant President. While I pray that my home will find the way to healing and I believe it will be stronger for it. I dream of a California that will rise up and appose this evil man.
