So lately there's been fires in my state. Recently small cities/ communities have been devoured by the fire. These fires are in the middle of the state mostly and we are on the stateline border of Idaho and OUR air quality is terrible, I can only imagine what it's like AT the fires. These places are just GONE, no stores, homes, churches NOTHING is left. HERE is one map showing the fires. The largest one would OVERWHELM the area I live in which is the Spokane and CDA area. It's so scary to think these were just small communities and over here e are two large cities and would be GONE with a fire this big. This pic was a few days back but if you want more info feel free to creep on their FB page. This shows just HOW far the smoke has traveled to make OUR air bad.

The complex fire is estimated at 238k ACRES, then the fire by our EWU campus is estimated at 13k ACRES.

The EWU area fire started last night and the Complex fire has been going for about a week.

Of course Red Cross is taking donations to help these people. For many the need is very immediate as some could only leave their home, no time to even pack a change of clothes. The insurance companies are going to take time to get this sorted because it's not like one or two places burned but WHOLE cities and communities, so insurance places are bound to be overwhelmed sorting it out for the people. Then you have those who might not have had insurances and will be out everything.

So next time you get tired of rain remember it CAN end up like this without rain.
