With more than 175 fires burning across the Carolinas and elsewhere, we are reminded to count our blessings.
200+ homes were evacuated as some 500 acres are burning in our county, sparked by a tree blown down by the wind onto power lines on Saturday.
But with winds softening yesterday, firefighters from multiple counties attained a bit of containment yesterday and up to 30% today.
With this being another day of calm winds and rain expected late tomorrow, I pray their success continues, and everyone can go home safely very soon. Huge thanks to all the first responders helping protect homes and lives.
“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”
— Langston Hughes (1901 – 1967)
American poet and social activist
