We all know about the troubles in Ft. McMurray and, it is sad about the losses that many in F. McMurray have endured, particularly the Police Chief's daughter lost in a traffic accident while fleeing the fires.

I'm in No Cal, and its been appearing on local news for the past three days now. However, prior to that, on the same day as evacuations began, I was hearing about it on Facebook and Twitter.  I have 2000 plus friends on Facebook (many from Canada) so we were all reading of the news in shock from the devastation.

My hopes and prayers for a quick closure to the fires and the safe return of everyone in the area.
