Then the rains came.



This weekend the winds have brought massive amount of devastation including the spread of a fire from one of the local schools. For days the fire spread to the surrounding areas and the mountain above and beyond - pictured below under the heading view from my window.
All the emergencies services, including the air emergencies service, worked around the clock. This is a picture of one of the helicopters searching for remnants of the fire amongst residents as most of them have been evacuated. Then the rains came a day late but welcomed.
