Help for Friend in Florida! Deborah searles@summerlands.com Sat Jul 4 00:51:50 1998 I've received a request for assistance from our friend Melbrigda. She lives in Florida in the middle of the fire zone down there. The counties directly to the north and west of her have been mandantorily evacuated. The road to the south is either closed to all but emergency vehicles or essentially impassable because of the fire conditions. *p*So far her house has been spared. She's in a 10 mile 'bubble' right now. Please pray that she is kept safe and that these fires are put out. They could really use some rain and some serious 'people management down there'. *p*Mel was telling me that they have caught people actually STARTING FIRES because they were pissed that the fireworks shows had been cancelled. Can you believe that crap? They ought to.... well never mind, but I would have the arsonists caught in a trap of their own making if it were up to me.*p*Anyway... please send what aid and prayers you can for rain (with NO lightening!) to aid in putting out these fires and for all the people to be safe and no more homes to be lost. *p*Also, please remember the wildlife who are displaced and killed. Help keep them safe and out of harms way. And for those who die in this terrible fire, I ask that their passing be quick and painless as possible and that their spirits return to their next lives in a good way.*p*Thanks everybody,*br*Deborah
