So sad

The latest toll of the Black Forest fire is 502 homes destroyed completely, and many others damaged, and two people killed.  The authorities still haven't decided what caused the fire, but they have found a lot of clues.  One of the TV stations has said that the closest lightning strike the day that the fire started was eight miles away from where the fire started, which is a clue that there was human involvement.  The Black Forest area was a beautiful wooded area, and now so much of it is charred remains of trees and homes.  I wonder about the wildlife - were they able to escape?  The fire is now 75% contained, so that's a good thing.

I'm not feeling very well today, hope I feel better so I can get some things accomplished.
