We lost our home, but we are all safe and that’s the important thing. Gonna be offline for awhile.— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 9, 2018
Just a quick update to say that I’m overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of love and support. Thank you to everyone who messaged me, and for the dozens upon dozens of you who offered us a place to stay. We are blessed and grateful to be safe and so loved. 🙏🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/5i4InDTs8S— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 10, 2018
Dude, your soul is a massive, deadly and costly forest fire. https://t.co/29b1ZT7iKh— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 11, 2018
I’m not trying to be optimistic about losing literally everything — I’m just not materialistic by nature. To me it’s just stuff. It’s harder for my boys, losing items that have profound memory meaning. But this loss and whipsaw change will become a source of growth for all of us.— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 11, 2018
A friend drove to my home while it was smoldering and took this mesmerizing pic. The interior is cooked but the sole fireman needs to ensure that other homes in my neighborhood don’t catch fire.— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 11, 2018
Thank God and this firefighter, they didn’t. pic.twitter.com/lXhTZQvYsq
German director Wim Wenders has known and loved my 15-year-old since the latter was born.— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 11, 2018
Yesterday, Wim told my son, “Hold on to your memories; no one can burn them.”
People keep commenting on how I’m staying positive. Seriously, I’m not. I just think the excitement and color of a sole firefighter dousing my home at 3am is as beautiful as my home on any normal afternoon. Some of us genuinely see the world this way.— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) November 11, 2018
It’s weird, I know.
O incêndio que vem sendo batizado de Woosley Fire já consumiu mais de 335 quilometros quadrados. Só para efeitos comparativos, isso é maior do que toda a cidade de Belo Horizonte e equivaleria a queimar 1/4 de toda a cidade de São Paulo. O incêndio está longe de ser contido e infelizmente não é o único acontecendo no momento. Outro chamado de Hill Fire no sul da Califórnia consumiu 18 quilometros quadrados mas já está 65% combatido. Um outro chamado de Camp Fire atinge a região norte, perto de Paradise.
A causa dos incêndios não foram imediatamente esclarecidas, mas o que se sabe é que minutos antes de eles serem constatados a companhia Pacific Gas & Electric Company reportou problemas na transmissão da rede eletrica na região, mas as investigações foram deixadas para um segundo momento já que o foco está sendo na contenção do problema e resgate das vítimas.
