This story really blows me away. I can't imagine what I would do if my entire city was destroyed by a fire.

I have no idea how people deal with it. We have had it happen to small communities, but never one this size, and with such destruction.

It was on our news last night as well ... terrible ... I'm so sorry for all the people who've lost their homes.

I hope you will be okay.

We are in the next province, so are fine, but for the first time they are talking about an interface fire, and we live in an area covered in trees so this year we not only have 'go' backs ready, but a list of what to grab at the last minute.

I've been watching this on the news, it's so awful. These poor people who will lose their homes, I just can't imagine what that must feel like. I don't know why, but I tend to think of Canada as a cold, snowy country and seeing this fire raging was such a surprise.

Most of them have lost their homes, no doubt about that, and as this fire rages on it depend on the wind which way it will go, and now the two fires have joined, and it keeps growing

I can't comprehend how it must feel. Some people drove north and now they are being evacuated through the ruins to another location.

This is always so awful. I feel so bad for those folks.

They have lost everything, and it will be a long time before they can even go and see the damage.

The news gets worse and worse.. Where are you in relation to this?

[twicet]

Every day it does get worse, but we are about a fifteen hour drive from Fort McMurray, there is no way it will reach here.
