Smoke on the horizon

in #life6 years ago

The winds have died down

and the billowing smoke today

does little to convey the horror last night

endured by those who lost
loved ones, homes and livelihoods.

I have no capacity to even imagine

being roasted alive in my vehicle
as some of our fellow human beings were last night.

The people of Loutraki will be in my prayers today. I am sure they have many questions as to why. For some things there is no real answer. Blessings and prayers.

it is really terrible... over 60 people have been killed and 200 are injured...

It's so sad, so many people were lost...

Wow my goodness really it's a sad tale, I hope their families have fortitude to bear the loss

Words are inadequate to address this scale of disaster; the deaths and loss and horror. There's no imagining how awful it must have been... I've seen photos, but so what...

looks like japan is still polluting the world with its waste again i see

OH MY GOD. BLESS THOSE INVOLVED. I PRAY FOR YOU ALL. HALLELUJAH! COME GOD!

Oho it's a sad incident what happened? How many people were in trouble.can you tell?what happened to the inhabitants.similarly we face this kind of incident in our childhood.due to fire our shop was burnt.we were at roads then.

Where did the smoke come from, sir? I mean what happened?🤔

My prayers go out to all those villagers.

Oh my God really very sad, how it happened ? Everything looking unclear by smoke ,were you here? Nothing to do for me just best consolation for them who has lost their loved one,house and properties.

I always feel disheatened and depressed whenever I heard bout people loosing their life.
I pray to God should behold their families..

Lovely @twiceuponatime or is it you @onceuponatime who clicked it...

My condolences. The wild fire photos look horrible!
Very sad days for those who were lost and injured.
It’s very frightening to drive through a big wild fire. I had an experience of driving through a very dried bamboo forest and seeing the fires being started on both sides with sparks flying all over. Some small fires had started on the dried bamboo leaves. I was afraid of being caught up and couldn’t escape from the jungle road. We had to speed up the car to get to safety. Big fires are unimaginably terrible to me.

May healing and solace be granted to those weary souls.

It is a truly awful thing. I was reading about it today.

Oh, it's lOok like you had a boring day

it is not boring day... you must read again the post...
it is not a funny post....

sad to know that :( I do remember the smoke when i was a kid and our shop got burned by the thief

So sad what a horrible experience ,my deep sympathy to those who lost their lives and belongings to the fire.

Sad to hear, sorry for the lose! :(

What just happened? Is everything okay?

It’s such a tragedy, I hope the fires die down soon.

How did that fire start? :O

Is it forest fire?

Scary thing there is.. Keep safe and don't go over unclear road. Things might went bad..

What is it @onceuponatime?
Seems like Fierce smoke.

Did you see dragon face still smoke? I saw already. So awful one.

I'm sad to see this images. Sorry for these citizen's lose. Nothing happiness blog.

it is so sad!

This is sad, sorry to hear about those who died in the fire.

Such a sad and frightening story for everyone in the area @onceuponatime.

I am glad to see that you are safe.

Praying the fires will be extinguished soon. Stay safe! 💙

Thats sad accident. May God grant them paradise in heaven

what just happened here? is everything okay?

oh awful tragedy 😞😞sir reason behind? R.I.P😞😞

This place burnt about 20 years ago and they burn it again these days. ofc it's cause by humans on purpose and it is a tragedy. Many people lost their houses that the government won't pay the back for building them again and the saddest part is that many lost their lives . Pictures of true horror because once again some dumbasses want to take advantage of the fields there...

Fabulous one!!!

oh its really dangerous...i think the fire burning and for this a huge smoke in the sky

No words can describe what happened... :( I hope our house in Kineta is not burned.. I have to go check but I don't think I'm ready to face this nightmare yet.. I'm numb.

I am heard about the fire. God bless all people in Athens

Greece and Portugal are very much alike, first the corrupt politicians, now the stupid fires circling poor people and burning them alive in their cars... last year half of Portugal burned up, more than 100 people died, burned alive, I blame the gov, not only because they don't do a good job at clearing out garbage in the forest but because they don't give enough instruments for the fireman to work with... I have friend that had to travel from one city to the other through a tunnel of flames! Their tires melted!

this is very sad to know about :( humans need to clear the path for the humanity

Prayers! 🙏🏻
Stay safe!
