Thank you.. Yes was not good!
I believe the fires mininessie is talking about are in Galicia Spain... At the moment, Spain and Portugal have been experiencing numerous brush fires and due to the number of separate fires, the belief so far is at least in some areas, that this looks like a deliberate act of arson.
The loss of life and property over the entire area has been pretty heavy, in Galicia at least three are know to have perished.
@ mininessie...
Sorry if I'm off on any of that, I'm going by an article I read two days ago and one this morning.
I hope the rain brings some relief and does not cause worse problems.
I also hope all your loved ones and friends are okay too.
It's pretty terrible what happened and I hope the area is able to recover quickly.
I'm glad to hear you were not too badly affected... And sorry I didn't realize you were afflicted by this disaster until now... For some reason I thought you were in France, not Spain... I'm bad with remembering where people are from... But I forget where I live sometimes...
Stay safe and I hope there are no further problems in your area and the fires are extinguished quickly everywhere.
Good luck.
Yes I'm in Galicia... And thank you for your words...don't worry i sometimes don't remember too where each one live so i understand.
Thanks!
I knew Galicia's in Spain, but until I checked a map on Wikipedia, I didn't know exactly where in Spain Galicia's located. Now I see it's the area just north of Portugal's northern border.Yes I'm in Galicia...
That's good to hear.Yes...the good side is that people is helping a lot to the ones that lost their things.. Solidarity is a good quality on our area often.
of course, other people had it worse...i thank God for be okI too am happy you are doing well. All is small potatoes compared to how much worse it could be , you an your family are most important than a telephone or internet. Blessed be you are good.
Fire is a terrible thing i hope it don't last.ohh, just found this thread... @mininessie I'm glad you are ok now!! We actually do have "fire-bugs" here on the west coast of the USA.... at least in San Diego... and it's horrible for the innocent people!! We've had a cooler summer than normal, but heat "due" on Monday...so hoping all the 'new brush/weeds' grown from a LOT of rain last 2 winters will not be 'used' by those evil people again....
Thanks God we are all ok here...thank you!Stay safe! Bush fires are devasting wherever they are. I still remember the sky from the Ash Wednesday fires...it looked very scary and that was from a distance. I hope your loved ones are fine also...
This is why I thought you lived in our neck of the woods. I live about 90 miles (about 145 KM) away from Lyne and we have fire bugs and copycats who decide they want to make a fire too!ohh, just found this thread... @mininessie I'm glad you are ok now!!
