Pray For Fort McMurray
I'm writing this, because it is something that is affecting so many people as we speak. I have friends and family that are affected by this disaster. Friends who had to flee their homes, to try to get out of Fort McMurray before the fire spread to they're homes.
My uncle works out of Fort Mac, and was luckily home in Winnipeg when this took place. Many of the people I know have family and friends that live and work there, that had to evacuate their homes yesterday as the fire spread into the city.
60,000+ people were made to evacuate Fort Mac, an unknown number of homes, vehicles and businesses were destroyed.
Many of these people have lost everything, only escaping with their loved ones, vehicles and the cloths on their backs.
Many firefighters from across Canada are being called in to help Fort Mac. EMTs, and many other personnel from around the country are flying out to assist, by bringing food, clothing, medical supplies, anything that is needed.
Watching the videos, and looking at the pictures out of Fort Mac, are quiet emotional. Viewer discretion is advised.
Here's a video, shared on CBC.ca of Fort Mac.
