Okay, so here is my impression. I understand how blessed I am to not have been evacuated or worse, lost my home. I do. It is a major disaster. I cannot bear the thought of enduring what all those people are going through. But srsly. With all the coverage. There is no escape from what is going on. I think I have information overload. My mind is getting a bit numb. I am getting numb. It is starting to look like a movie. Is that right? It doesn’t seem right. But then I have been looking at various forms of Firestorm 2007 coverage since 5:30. That’s 6 hours straight. Even with my gorgeous Local 8 crew that is a lot.
I may have been overcompensating after my day of NO information. But still. 6 hours. No commercials. Fire, fire, fire… *twitch* Maybe if we saw more about the shelters, how we could help, something. But no. It’s mostly fire. Fires burning strong, fires going out, places next to fires… FIRE.
Now I feel uneasy for having shut it off. People do need the information. Am I weird?
I just need to think about something else for 5 minutes. Oh, and they better not let my Kyle get burned or otherwise injured. He is the sports guy. He should not be chasing fires.
And just in case you think I am slowly going crazy here’s a map of the big Witch Fire:
It is getting a bit too close for me. Seems to be heading south down the 15. Towards me. But that’s not all… You see, there is also one coming up from the border, charring the edges of the town I work in:
