Usually I am not lost for words but to describe what is going on in California is just beyond any words that come to mind while I try to write this. I can not tell you how many times in the past few days that I have logged on to this board and attempted to post an update and could not. My health is bad and there is no let up in this firestorm which is raping my beautiful world. Rape is the only word that even come's close to what this fire storm is doing to my world.

The worst part of this day is that the winds have started up again. They say it is an off shore wind which would make you think that the qaulity of air by the beach is heathful again. That is so totally not true! They show people on the news walking along the beach coughing and gaging with masks over their noses. Not only is the smoke and ash affecting our health but it is also effecting the health of my/our fur babies as I watch them sneeze and cough through out the day with their mommy.

We have not been able to locate friends or family members in this fire storm's path. Our water pressure is low and at times our local web server, cell phones, and electricity flickers on and off where I live. On top of all that we are going into a food shortage now because every one is trying to find food at the local stores that are not on strike. Our local pharmacy is overwhelmed and at the hospitals the emergancy rooms are packed with asthmatic patients such as myself who have made several trips to the hospitals this week because of the smoky ashy air.

These fires has made the air we breathe in southern California very unhealthful and deadly to for people like me who have to breathe it. No one is going out side, the streets are empty and my neighborhood looks like a bomb was set off with all the smoke and ash laying over every thing known to mankind out there.

I have never asked for prayers from you girls because as you know in the past I believe they are as useful to me as praying to the statue of liberty for help. But now I have changed my mind. I will take prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes, and lots of angels and any thing else in your personal arsenals that you believe will help us who are trying to live through this fire storm from hell.

We need your help people... please help us to get through this... I beg of you!

Just stop what your doing during each beautiful day your enjoying... and send us all the love in your hearts... Please... I fear your local news is not even telling the rest of the world as to how bad these fires are.... or how it is effecting us here.

For once girls there is no bull in this post... this is reality in it's rawest form. As I said, I am in poor health and very depressed... and we the people of southern California really need food, clothing and any thing else any of you can send our way from your state.... If you are having a beautiful day and life is wonderful right now to you please share with us who are living in hell right now some of your happiness....

It is just unbelievable here!!!...

I am sorry girls I can not write any more because as I write this I am crying hysterically and can not see my computer screen, I am severely depressed and my physical and psychological health is in the toilet.

I know over 200 people read these boards... so people if each one of you out there in the cyber space could just stop for once in your life and respond to let us know you care that would really help us... the power of words are mightyer then these fires...

Aloha,

Lei

I am so sorry that things are so bad there. I see the footage on the news and I can't even imagine what you are going through.

I am sending you hugs, well wishes, and am hoping that this is over very soon for you.

Take care.

Dear, dear Leilani,


As you may or may not know, I live on the east coast, and watching the horrendous footage on tv has had an effect on me also.

I am shocked as I watch the news everyday.

This fire is outrageous and my soul is

hurting for everyone that has to endure this inferno.

I have no clue how the government will be able to

help all the people that have lost their homes.

My heart aches thinking of all the innocent animals

that are dying in this fire.

There is nothing I can do but pray that this will

be over soon and that nature can recover from this.

As soon as I know where to send things to I will

pack a box and mail it.

Please take care of yourself.

Love from

Tammy

This is scary to me, I don't know what any of us can do except pray for a positive outcome in this situation. Though that's a good idea, about sending food, but where do we send it to? Are there any drives that have been set up to assist with this cause? My heart goes out to you--I hope your health improves and the earth can heal itself rapidly from this natural destruction.

Big hugs to you.

Sincerely,

Victoria

Sending you lots of angels and prayers that the fires in California come to an end. Hang in there and, as hard as it may be, try to remain positive.

Oh my gosh leilani...I am literally in tears. I am so sorry about the situation in which you are going through...I am sending you all my hugs and kisses. What you wrote, touched me so much...I just can't imagine going through such disaster. All I know, is that God is still there, and I am praying for you. Looking at your profile, you are a beautiful person, filled with wisdom. The reason you can help others is because you, yourself, have gone through hell. Hugs to you, for the wonderful person you are. You are in my prayers.

Much love,

Sara Rose
