The latest tallies say that at least -- AT LEAST -- 1,552 homes have been burned to the ground as a result of the California wildfires. Two fires near San Diego are a mere two miles apart and are threatening to merge. Firefighters are too exhausted to do their valiant work and are being forcibly pulled off the front lines and made to rest, against their will.

Even with the pictures right in front of me, I can't imagine it. The only thing I can think is: "It must be hell. It must feel like the end of the world is at your back door." All those houses lost, decades and decades of lives turned into snowy ashes . . . how could it not be the end of their worlds?
