fire tornadoes

We are on fire here in California, and we are fighting with everything we have. The flames, the heat, the ashes, the smoke -- they fall on us in waves, surrounding us, imprinting us, and drawing out of our souls the heat, the tension, and the resilience to sift through rubble and debris and still get up again.

Half a million have been evacuated.

Thousands don't understand the language of fire, but thousands more don't understand the language of the warnings about fire.
