Up in Smoke
They broadcasted "The Nightly News with Katie Couric" tonight from Qualcomm Stadium. I was super moved by the segment about Qualcomm Stadium and the sum 15,000 evacuees and their pets - all sorts of pets and tons of them. Volunteers set up a whole little camping city there complete with kids activities, food, water and volunteers that seemed to be acting as wait staff to the people camping in the parking lot.
One of the guests mentioned that she couldn't help but think about the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe at the Super Dome. They showed footage and reminisced about how there was violence and horrible living conditions during evacuation. Meanwhile while Southern California goes up in smoke, its residents here are very civilized. It was moving. It made me proud to be from such a beautiful community - even if it is really smoky and dry right now.
