Rick's house in Arizona is right in the middle of the "Monument Fire" that is currently raging, and he is staying in an hotel at the moment. He has seen photos of some homes in his neighborhood which had been burned to the ground. Our Rick could really use some POE prayers for rain, change in wind direction, protection from personal harm, and from loss of property. Thank you. |

What a terrible loss people are suffering and hope that Rick will not be one of them, although I would hope that no one else will be affected by such a terrible occurrence. Thoughts and prayers for Rick and all his neighbours |

Hope Krissy will see this one also as I deleted a post from Krissy. Prayers your way Rick, from Anna and Ron. Can't imagine the trauma. God bless you all... |

Their neighborhood was spared, but all around them is devastation. Fortunately, where Rick lives is mostly grasslands (which actually do quite well after a fire), and not the Ponderosa pine forests which take decades to recover. But thank God our Rick is safe and the fire didn't get his home.

How come it causes such devastation, maybe the winds? |
