re: Say a prayer tonight for Redding, California as major fire decimates it right now

Saying “ say a prayer “ is a universal, cross- cultural manner to say “ keep them in your thoughts “ . A basic expression of humanity and the idea that the human experience is shared, and that what effects one of our countrymen is worthy of noting and helping . It’s a phrase that no matter where you are in the world, unifies us and acknowledges our common humanity and expresses compassion. I think everyone is familiar with the need for rain and a cessation of wind . No need to be a dick.

Here are some other phrases that also do that
“shite happens”
“That’s the way the cookie crumbles”
“Such is life”
“Life’s a bitch”
The only difference is those phrases may not get you as many likes on social media.

There actually was monsoon rain east of the fire, and further south.
Its possible.
I had to evacuate my house last few days.
Going back in.morning.
My town was protected by agriculture. Open fields of crops which are watered. No mountains. No forest..
Bulldozers made a 100 foot wide break 10 miles long. Dc10s dropped retardant.
The Redding fire came down from.mountains and pine forest.
The river fire, "mine", was uncontrollable in Mts, from Mendocino to close to town.
I've been up at the peak of lake men do county line. Thousands of feet down to valley. There was no stopping it in that terrain since the dc10s were busy at Redding.
When the all towns around clearlake were in imminent danger we got dc10 sorties.
The Mendocino forest goes up to 8,000 feet and 7,000 ft is close enough to us that it looms over our local 3000 to 4000 mountains surrounding the lake.
Going back in 2 hours. There is still uncontrolled ranch fire north end of lake. Air is awful.
