As usual this thoughtful and thought provoking essay brings personal experience - this time dramatic - to bear on general insights. This is the best account of experience of approaching fire I have read, and I trust it because I trust this truthful author. The conclusion is important too: individual actions, about one's house and neighbors, and our changing world, matter. They will keep us caring about the general good.
Gosh, Terry! I so appreciated your last post about what you are doing differently this year. And now all this. I am grateful to you for keeping us all connected to the reality of situations like the L.A. fires, especially when you absolutely could just be focusing on matters close to home. Take good care, and do let me know if I can help at all!
Wow! These situations are really unimaginable for most of us. Thanks for sharing this incredible account of what it's like on the ground. I'm so glad you and your loved ones were not harmed. I am grateful for your helpful community but not surprised given how compassionate you are. Hugs and hope things get better all around.

I've nothing to say other than to take care, please. I loved living in Pasadena when I was a postdoc.
My thoughts are with all of you down in LA. A friend of mine lost their house— I can’t imagine what that must be like. Thanks for this account.
