Watching the #thomasfire news has me flashing back to all the previous fires I've had to evacuate from. They are terrifying but also kind of humbling, and one thing I'll always carry with me is how a fire will -always- make you realize what's most important.
If this is your first time evacuating, I'm sorry. It's awful. If your home is safe and you come back to it, you're going to walk back in feeling very different about it. Nothing like a fire quite nails in how superfluous a lot of our stuff is.
