This was so good to hear.... this guy went to work, the fires started, he tried to get home to his dogs. Fire wouldn't let him into the danger zone, but they sent a crew, they were able to find one dog, the black dog and he was thrilled, but not the other. To see that he has been reunited with the two things that meant the most to him is just so joyful.
Video shows goats being shepherded down a hillside in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood Friday night with flames from the approaching Palisades Fire in the background. Drivers got out of their cars to help grab goats after a dozen or more of them began running towards traffic in the street. They were eventually herded into blue trucks by handlers.

I don't for a single second mean to minimize a single bit of the tragedy going on in California right now. It's horrific and I feel for every person affected. That being said, don't people remember there are literally thousands of people still displaced, some families sleeping in tents and whatever means they can find in the states hardest hit by the recent hurricanes? They were offered $750. Are their lives any less important or have we as a news cycle, simply moved on?
I am *NOT* trying to be political. Just pointing out the tragedy that is still ongoing outside of California and North Carolina winters are one bleep of a lot harder to deal with than those in SoCal...

FEMA kicks hurricane survivors out of temporary housing into snowstorm and freezing temperatures
Approximately 2,000 North Carolina households that survived Hurricane Helene will have to move out of their FEMA-expensed hotel rooms on Saturday amid a winter storm.
Wayne, I understand. The last time I heard about the area a group was making tiny homes for people.
I have no idea how many were made and who gets to live in them.
It's hard to understand all the devastation that's happening all over the world. The fires in LA remind
me of war zones when whole areas have been lost. Some towns in the US have been wiped out
when tornados hit.
We all need to do what we can do help out others in need no matter how big or small we can do.

This article gives additional information on this issue. Also, the $750 from FEMA is for immediate assistance and not a loan. You have to apply for further assistance, loans, etc. it will be no different with the California fire situation.I don't for a single second mean to minimize a single bit of the tragedy going on in California right now.

As a guy who used to work for the SBA's Disaster Loans area, I'm familiar. I also understand that there is a cap to the amount the President can sign off on before getting approval from Congress. That $750 is a per-person, or per-family division of that cap. I get it. I'm simply a bit unsettled that all anyone can talk about on the news is the California fires when the people in the areas hit by the two hurricanes are STILL suffering.This article gives additional information on this issue.

One can argue that the state of California and the municipalities of the areas should owe those affected a great deal considering the documented incompetence and negligence shown by those Governmental agencies, but the back-to-back hurricanes laid waste to an entire swath of the country leaving tens of thousands of by far poorer people (by capita and cost of living comparison) literally dying, living in tents through the heart of Winter in North Carolina while FEMA declares "job done" and moves on..
You can't claim. you can't see the disparity.
