A wildfire swept through a small Alberta town last Sunday, burning about a third of the town. I had an aunt and uncle and 3 cousins who lived there. My aunt and uncles home is burned down, completely destroyed, not a single piece left except the cars in the driveway. I think that the two homes that my cousins lived in are alright. So please pray for my family, although insurance will pay for their home and such, it will be an enormous transition in the meantime with many choices to make. First of all, 7000 evacuees haven't even been let in the town yet to access damages, so they don't necessarily know if they will be able to continue living there or even have jobs etc. Anyway keep them in your prayers, I just couldn't imagine having my life turned completely upside down like these guys.
