Last night we watched as a fire combined with wind creating "the perfect storm" in Boise destroying nine homes and damaging ten others.
It was heart wrenching to watch. One of the things that stuck with me was listening to the Lee families response. They had just come home to dinner to celebrate their kids first day of school when they were evacuted. Their home was completely destroyed.
They said because of the emergency preparedness the church had offered they knew they hadn't lost anything that couldn't be replaced. They had all the important documents they needed to start the process of rebuilding their lives.
Many times I wrongly think that the events I need to be prepared for are on a global scale. All too often they are much closer to home.
