Its been a bad year (or two) for disasters. Locally, last year we had a massive fire in Fort McMurry, and this year its British Colombia's turn to have terrible fires. In the states, California is also fighting fires, while Texas is just beginning the cleanup from hurricane Harvey, and apparently there is another hurricane building that is expected to hit Florida.
That's not even counting disasters elsewhere in the world.
I know it can be overwhelming, and I know this community is not exactly flush with cash, but I just want to encourage everybody to try and help out any way they can. And if you have nothing else to give, give some encouragement to those who have suffered, and to those trying to help out.

Dottie, I Agree, But...
All these problems you mentioned are the result (mainly) of global warming/climate change. Higher temperatures and drought drying out the forests and not killing pests, in the warmer winter, which kill trees. Higher air temps can hold more water and have caused many flooding events.
Beside helping victims, we should all contact officials and speak out against climate deniers. Sea level rise, loss of agricultural areas, drought, loss of fresh water from glacier fed rivers and war caused by climate refugees could literally kill billions of us. I know it's in the future, but it really could happen.
And thanks for your post!
Hugs and Bright Blessings,

... only when those Texas senators apologize for the hypocrisy of not supporting Sandy victims.
And for being climate change deniers.
