Damn, first you have the quake in Chile which you rode out fine.

Now the huge fire and it is in your town. Are you doing okay?????

Your mail box is full......probably all of us checking on you.

For those not familiar with Sammy, his Forum name is Calderone and has been very active here with his 87.

Information on the fire....

John, thanks for this thread and your concern !!!
This happened on the upper side of the hills, some of the fire
came near the center-town. I live in the center area.
Thousands of houses just dissapear, it's sad and huge.
We are trying to help as much as we can, it's the worst thing
Parents of a super friend of mine ex ex girlfriend lost everything !!!
Just ashes, incontrolable HUGE fires !!!!!!! Horror movie into reality !!!
