My aunt and uncle, along with one of her sons and his family, and a close family friend all lived in Paradise... which has basically been wiped off the map with the current fire.
Aunt/Uncle and cousins no longer have homes, and the family friend doesn’t know for sure but will be surprised if her house is still there too.
Meep, I heard the LA zoo was evacuating animals
The winds yesterday and last night were spreading the fire at the rate of a football field a second. I just. That’s terrifying!!
They were telling people to just get out because it was just spreading so fast!
My cousin is a police officer in Paradise, so he’s working, trying to help make sure people are gotten clear.
it's horrible and I'm just stuck up here wondering if my family's gonna lose their place or work too...
but geeez I'm so sorry about your family
Basicallt everything in Paradise is gone. All business, most homes (if not all), it’s just all gone.
Oh my god, that's so awful.
I didn't realize it was moving THAT FAST....
Jesus... Those poor people
I'm so glad your family made it out and... gahhh...
Added a GoFundMe link. Daughter-in-law to the aunt/uncle posted it for her family.
Replurks are very appreciated.
My cousin's house... man, this just breaks my heart...
Thank you, thank you all for all the replurks. I really, really appreciate it.
My aunt and uncle’s house...
I wish I could do more than just replurk.
Thank you. Thank you all for all the replurks.
np! I know this whole thing is so freaky and awful
donated! I'm hoping for as swift and complete a recovery for your family as possible
Sheepi: Thank you so much! You're amazing!
I thank you all again. Truly, the replurks mean a lot.
Husbob's cousin also lost her home. We're too far away to offer a roof.
marfita: I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s heartbreaking to know how many people are in this situation right now.
If I didn't live on the opposite side of the country, I would totally offer a couch\
Spectreselva: the thought is appreciated nonetheless. They’re all currently safe and staying with nearby family and friends.
